Group Reading Assessment & Diagnostic Evaluation

GRADE
GRADE provides educators with a diagnostic, group-administered test that measures reading competency in the core areas of word reading, sentence comprehension, word meaning, passage comprehension, vocabulary, and listening comprehension for children, adolescents, and adults. An online edition is available starting at Grade 2, and the GRADE Resource Library provides stimulating activities, worksheets, and book lists to help provide targeted instructional interventions—linked to the assessment—at any level. GRADE and GRADE Online are the most current versions of GRADE. See our Guidance on using this assessment remotely.

Effective 7/31/24, Pearson is retiring the GRADE. Print materials are available while supplies last. Please contact us for other assessment options!

FAQs

When will GRADE/GMADE retire?

Effective July 31, 2024, Pearson is discontinuing the sale of GRADE and GMADE assessments. You can keep using GRADE and GMADE for the rest of this school year and we'll support you all the way up to July 31. Before this takes place, we recommend transitioning to aimswebPlus™ , which offers evaluation and progress monitoring of your students’ core math and reading skills on one platform and is accessible from any web-enabled device.

I received a letter stating that all GRADE/GMADE content had been moved to aimswebPlus™. Does that mean I can continue testing GRADE/GMADE if I buy aimswebPlus?

No; the GRADE/GMADE content has been provided to the aimswebPlus team, but this does not mean all GRADE/GMADE content has been selected for use or added to live edition of aimswebPlus. Additionally, content from GRADE/GMADE that has been added to aimswebPlus is not distinguishable or labeled as GRADE/GMADE.

What will happen to my data?

Customers who do not transition for the 24-25 school year will have 90 days after 8/1 to export their data before it is purged. Once the purge happens, data sets are NOT retrievable.
