Free 1-to-1 assessment: meet the tutor before you decide anything.

Free Reading Test for Grades 1-10

A short original passage and six questions, with instant results and an explanation for every answer.

Start the test
Open book on a table

Choose a reading level

Pick your child's current grade band. If it feels too easy or too hard, you can switch.

What the test can and can't tell you

Each passage is original and written for its grade band, with questions on recalling details, vocabulary, inference, main idea, structure and evidence, the same skills school reading tests assess.

A short test can't show why a mistake happened. A slip, a missing fact and a misunderstood idea all look the same on paper. That is what the free one-to-one assessment is for: a tutor watches your child work and explains exactly what would help.

Frequently asked questions

Is the reading test free?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and shows results immediately, with an explanation for each answer.

What does the reading test check?

Each level has an original passage and 6 questions covering recalling details, vocabulary in context, inference, main idea, author's purpose or text structure, and using evidence.

Should my child read the passage aloud?

Either is fine. Reading aloud lets you hear fluency, which the free one-to-one assessment checks in more detail.

What if my child can't read the passage yet?

Try the Grades 1-2 passage, or read it aloud together. If decoding is still hard, a phonics-focused assessment is the best next step.
