Overview
The Test of Reading Comprehension – Fourth Edition (TORC-4; Brown, Wiederholt & Hammill, 2008) is an individually-administered, norm-referenced instrument that measures silent reading comprehension of contextual reading materials in students between the ages of 7 and 17 years, 11 months. The test is comprised of five subtests: Relational Vocabulary, Sentence Completion, Paragraph Construction, Text Comprehension, and Contextual Fluency. The Reading Comprehension Index is a composite score based on the five subtests. The TORC-4 can be used for identifying students who need help improving their reading proficiency and measuring student progress.
