The Test of Reading Comprehension—Fourth Edition (TORC–4) is an innovative approach to testing silent reading comprehension that can be used to:

  • Identify children and adolescents who score signifi cantly below their peers and who therefore might need help in improving their reading profi ciency and comprehension,
  • Document student progress in remedial programs, and
  • Serve as a research tool in studies investigating reading problems in children and adolescents.

The TORC–4 includes 5 subtests, all of which measure word identifi cation and contextual meaning: Relational Vocabulary, Sentence Completion, Paragraph Construction, Text Comprehension, and Contextual Fluency.
