In this great blog, we take you through what exactly is the New Group Reading Test, and how can it help teachers support their students. We know, that interpreting data could be challenging with all the jargon. Georgina Cook unpacks GL Education’s popular reading assessment.
The number one challenge for teachers of English in a foreign language (EFL) setting is providing their students with adequate comprehensible input—listening and reading opportunities students can understand—to facilitate acquiring those four skills.

A recent Renaissance survey revealed unanimous agreement among teachers, with over 90% highlighting the significance of educational technology (EdTech) in easing teacher workload and enhancing teacher well-being.

Our philosophy is that supporting the “right” students in the “right” way always leads to progress. With this in mind, we developed the NGRT assessment to evaluate a student’s word reading (sentence completion) and comprehension (passage comprehension) skills. However, we understand that every student is unique, and that’s why we created the Reading Support Pathway, a graduated response model that enables you to tailor your support to their needs. Using this model, you can fine-tune your approach and provide the targeted support your students need to thrive.
