EGRA: Correct Non-Words Read Per Minute (Mean). English. 3rd Grade
Average total number of invented/nonsense words correctly read per minute. The indicator measures students' ability to fluently decipher/decode randomly-presented “words” that follow linguistic rules but do not actually exist in the stated language. Skill in reading nonwords can be a purer measure of decoding than using real words because children cannot recognize the words by sight. Decoding is considered a self-teaching skill that enables children to read new and unfamiliar words independently. Users are discouraged from using these data to make direct comparisons across countries or languages.
