Title: A Comprehensive Guide to the NGRT (New Group Reading Test) for Year 2 Students
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.
Unlike standard curriculum tests (such as SATs), which measure what a child has been taught, the NGRT measures a child's underlying reading skills. This paper serves as a helpful guide to understanding the test format, interpreting results, and preparing students effectively.

- Who needs additional support (intervention).
- Who is working at a greater depth (gifted readers).
