PROBE GREY Supplementary Kit

SFully understanding text requires close, intelligent reading. For many readers, understanding doesn't come easy and even the seemingly best readers have some difficulties. Teachers and professionals need in-depth data about a student's ability to understand text - PROBE results can be used to help determine teaching.

PROBE is primarily designed to be a controlled, individual in-depth interview to help teachers achieve a greater understanding of:

• how readers engage with text
• what specific teaching is required.

For use with 7 year-olds to adults (wherever English is being read), younger students who decode well and students learning to read English as a second language.

To reduce bias and enable the assessor to more accurately evaluate the reader’s ability to draw on the information contained in the texts, they are, as much as possible: written in Standard International English and culturally and geographically non-specific. As this is an assessment of a reader’s ability to decode and comprehend text, there are no pictures and limited title clues
