This pamphlet was prepared for a two-fold purpose: (1) To produce a companion study to a previous pamphlet on "Assessing Compositions," and (2) To continue work on comprehension. It is limited to a practical study of the issues involved in composition and comprehension by devising, setting and marking regular comprehension tests for 14- and 15-year-olds. This pamphlet presents a selection of the passages and questions, with comments, and, in some cases, a selection of answers by pupils. The pattern of questioning was set to fit the nature of the passage to be read. The easy lead-in questions were found to be useful in giving the pupils confidence and in directing their attention. The criteria on which marking was based are: (1) how far has the candidate understood the passage? and (2) How far has he succeeded in expressing his understanding with sufficient coherence for us (the teacher) to understand him?
