The software is easy to use and administer, allowing you to record errors, self-corrections, reading behaviours, retelling analysis, and comprehension responses. Recommendations for future development are provided to assist with ongoing teaching. The software automatically calculates reading accuracy rate, error rate, and self-correction rate; summarizes the students’ level of understanding in retelling and comprehension; and identifies independent and instructional reading levels. A variety of graph options are available to visually present individual student, class, whole-class, and whole-school progress. 92cm 91cm 90cm 89cm 88cm 87cm For more information and pricing visit www.nelson.com/pmbenchmark Order by phone Order by fax Order by email Order by mail 1-800-268-2222 1-800-430-4445 [email protected] web: www.nelsonschoolcentral.com Nelson Education 1120 Birchmount Road Toronto, ON M1K 5G4 ORDER INFORMATION PM Benchmark READING ASSESSMENT RESOURCE PM Benchmark Reading Assessment Resource Assessment and Profiling Software ISBN 9780176158651 9780176158712 1120 Birchmount Road Toronto ON M1K 5G4 416 752 9448 or 1 800 268 2222 email: [email protected] Fax 416 752 8101 or 1 800 430 4445 www.nelsonschoolcentral.com
