AR Literacy Skills tests

[Kevin Dellit <kdellit@tripath.colosys.net>]

Greetings,

We are looking at purchasing some of the new AR Literacy Skills tests -
20 quizzes for $139.00 from Permabound.  According to the salesman they
are much better and much more thorough than the 10-20 question AR
comprehension tests we are now using.  They are supposed to test a
variety of reading skills in 4 categories: Initial Understanding,
Literary Analysis, Inferential Comprehension, and Constructing Meaning.

Does anyone have any experience with these new tests? Are they worth the

investment?  Do study materials accompany the tests?  I'll appreciate
any and all feedback.

I've already checked the archives and found nothing about them.

Thanks,
