HAURAPA-PROBE
Te Reo translation of
PROBE1 reading comprehension assessment
Translated by Mere Clarke

RATIONALE
For many readers understanding doesn't come easy. Effective comprehension is better taught than caught. Comprehension skills should be assessed to determine what needs to be taught.PURPOSE
HAURAPA-PROBE is designed to provide in-depth data about a student's ability to read & understand text. Assessment results should be used to determine teaching. Consequently, it can be described as a controlled, in-depth interview to achieve a greater understanding as to how a reader engages with text.
HAURAPA-PROBE is a translation of the renowned, New Zealand-made PROBE1 Reading Assessment.
