Why use YARC Primary?<br />
• YARC Primary: Complete Set offers a continuous and<br />
seamless assessment of reading from age 4 to 11,<br />
providing a remarkable amount of diagnostic information<br />
• It has been developed by the Centre for Reading and Language at the<br />
University of York, one of the UK’s leading centres for research into the<br />
nature and causes of reading and language difficulties<br />
• It is ideal as a follow-up assessment at individual level, for those pupils<br />
who are identified as requiring further intervention after group testing<br />
• The tests in the Early Reading suite are especially useful for identifying<br />
underlying difficulties in phonological awareness and the acquisition of<br />
letter sounds that could hamper progress in reading<br />
• It provides standard age scores, age equivalent scores and percentile<br />
ranks for pupils aged 4 to 11 years 11 months, to help you benchmark<br />
your pupils’ reading and measure progress<br />

YARC Primary in our portfolio<br />
YARC Primary is an ideal follow-up assessment to the New<br />
Group Reading Test (NGRT) (pages 24–27). Whilst NGRT<br />
screens and monitors the reading ability of pupils on a group level<br />
to identify those with potential difficulties, YARC Primary will<br />
enable you to carry out and in-depth, individual assessment of a<br />
pupil’s decoding and comprehension skills. A wealth of invaluable<br />
diagnostic information on a pupil’s reading skills can be used to<br />
inform timely and appropriate intervention strategies.<br />
YARC Primary is particularly useful in identifying a pupil’s eligibility<br />
for additional time for Access Arrangements at Key Stage 2,<br />
Combining YARC Primary with the British Picture Vocabulary<br />
Scale: 3rd Edition (page 34), provides a quick and easy<br />
assessment of vocabulary, an element essential to success in<br />
reading.<br />
YARC Primary is also particularly useful when combined with our<br />
Dyslexia Portfolio (page 54), to identify pupils who are<br />
displaying the signs of dyslexia, so that measures can be put in<br />
place quickly to support their achievement in literacy.<br />
