Screening of Reading Readiness (SORR)
Test Facts

Origins of the test:

• The initial interest in developing the SORR came during the restandardization of the Kindergarten Diagnostic Instrument-Second Edition (KDI-2) in 2000. The Phonemic Awareness subtest on the KDI-2 was the first attempt at including a predictive reading measure on one of our products.
• Miller and Budge began working on the pilot version of the SORR in 2001.
• The SORR was released in 2003.

What is the age range for the test?

• The SORR is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 6.
• The test may be administered during the preschool, kindergarten, and first grade school years.
• The test may be selectively administered to children who are older than age 6 and have known or suspected reading difficulties.

How long does the SORR take to administer?

• It takes approximately 25 minutes to administer all 7 subtests of the SORR to an individual child.

How is the SORR typically administered?

• The SORR is typically administered by a screening team where the child rotates from station to station to complete the tests.
• The SORR may also be individually administered by a trained examiner (e.g., reading teacher, school psychologist, educational diagnostician, speech therapist, etc.) to evaluate an individual child's reading readiness skills as part of a comprehensive individual evaluation.

How is the SORR Scored?

• The SORR may be scored using the standardization sample norms contained in the SORR Administration Manual.
