NAEP Technical DocumentationLinking diagram for the reading samples at each grade: 2002
2002 Combined National & State Sample. Randomly equivalent samples. 2002

NOTE: The arrowheads point to samples for which assessment results were already in the NAEP reporting metric in preparation for the 2002 reading assessment. The bridging sample, which was comprised of linking and reconfigured samples, was used to convert the standard NAEP booklet design that had been used in the 1998 and 2000 assessments to the new design planned for the 2002 assessment. The bridging sample results were not reported.
