NAEP Technical DocumentationLinking Diagram for the Reading Samples: 2009

NOTE: The arrowheads point to samples for which assessment results were already in the NAEP reporting metric in preparation for the 2009 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 assessment to the new design planned for use during the 2002 assessment and beyond. The bridging sample results were not reported.

The Reading Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress replaces the framework first used for the 1992 reading assessment and then for subsequent reading assessments through 2007. Results from special analyses determined the 2009 reading assessment results could be compared with those from earlier assessment years. A summary of these special analyses and an overview of the differences between the previous framework and the 2009 framework are available on the Web at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/reading/trend_study.asp
