Introduction

The New Group Reading Test (NGRT) is a standardised assessment used widely in schools to measure reading ability against the national average. For parents and teachers of Year 2 students (ages 6-7), the NGRT provides a crucial snapshot of a child’s literacy development at a pivotal stage in their education.
