8+ Reading Comprehension Diagnostic Assessment

Understand your child’s reading strengths, identify areas for development, and gain clear insight into what they should focus on next for their 8+ preparation.

Strong reading comprehension is an important part of many 8+ entrance assessments. Children need to do more than read fluently — they need to understand meaning, retrieve and interpret information, make inferences, understand vocabulary and respond thoughtfully to a range of questions.

Our virtual 8+ Reading Comprehension Diagnostic Assessment provides a detailed insight into your child’s current comprehension ability, highlighting their strengths and identifying the specific skills where further development would be most beneficial.

Designed to reflect the skills and question styles commonly encountered in 8+ entrance assessments, the online assessment evaluates key areas including:

• Retrieval of information
• Inference and deduction
• Vocabulary and word meaning
• Understanding themes and ideas
• Interpretation and critical thinking

Following completion, your child’s responses are carefully reviewed and analysed by a qualified teacher. You will receive a detailed personalised diagnostic report explaining:

• Your child’s key reading strengths
• Specific areas requiring further development
• The comprehension skills they should prioritise
• Teacher observations based on their responses
• Clear recommendations for future preparation

What’s included:

✓ An 8+ style online reading comprehension Diagnostic Assessment
✓ Personal marking and analysis by a qualified teacher
✓ A 5-page detailed personalised diagnostic report
✓ Subject-specific strengths and development areas
✓ Clear, practical recommendations for future preparation

Give yourself a clearer understanding of your child’s reading ability and a focused direction for their 8+ preparation.
