New Group Spelling Test (NGST) Digital: Secondary Single Administration

New Group Spelling Test (NGST) is an adaptive assessment which allows termly monitoring of spelling skills. When combined with the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) you can assess reading and spelling together in under an hour. Customised implications for teaching and learning in each individual report offer practical help with next steps in the classroom.The NGST allows teachers to assess spelling ability benchmarked against the national average, and monitor progress. All questions are delivered via audio, and the test is fully adaptive which means that the material adapts to the pupil’s ability.

The NGST has two sections:

1. Single word section - tests five or six spelling rules
2. Spelling in context section - tests a variety of different spelling rules using sentence completion tasks.

Reports

Data is presented in visually accessible tables, bar charts and scatter graphs that allow for easy comparison, as well as clear narrative explanations that explain the pupil profile and its implications for teaching and learning.

The diagnostic information provided together with the ability to measure impact pre and post intervention makes NGST a valuable assessment. The reports include:

• Group report for teachers - stanines for each section to highlight where a wide discrepancy may need particular attention
• Individual report for teachers – offers a detailed analysis of responses to the two sections of NGST, a profile summary and tailored implications for teaching and learning
• Group progress report for teachers – see two points of progress at-a-glance against a national sample

New reports that combine scores from both the NGST and NGRT are coming soon!
