Morgan Low Vision Reading Comprehension Assessment

The Morgan Low Vision Reading Comprehension Assessment is back! The assessment, originally printed in 1996, has been out of print but now joins the other LUV Reading Series materials published by Fork in the Road. The Morgan Low Vision Reading Comprehension Assessment (LVRCA) is a measure of reading comprehension that is designed for use with adults who have low vision due to macular degeneration. The test can be used to determine an approximate reading level in order to assist the professional in suggesting reading materials of appropriate difficulty for these readers. It can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction and/or practice in increasing reading comprehension. Potential uses for the Morgan Assessment:

• an aid in planning individualized instruction
• an objective measure of progress
• a measure of the effectiveness of instructional programs
• a measurement tool in research

See page 6 of the manual for more detailed information. The Morgan LVRCA consists of:

• 10 rigid test cards printed on non-glare polystyrene in four sizes: 1m,1.5M, 2M, & 3M. There are two equivalent forms of the test, A and B (pictured). The cards are pre-drilled for placing in a 3-ring binder or notebook, if the practitioner desires (notebook/binder NOT included).
• The Instruction Manual (PDF) which should be downloaded from this website, contains information on the test development, instructions for administering and scoring the test, and suggestions for interpreting the results.
