There are many different measures of reading and related skills being used. For example, the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) provides descriptors for reading for English language learners. In the adult literacy field, some of the reading assessment tools are Canadian Adult Reading Assessment (CARA), Diagnostic Adult Literacy Assessment for Beginning Readers (DALA), Canadian Adult Achievement Test (CAAT), Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE), and Test of Workplace Essential Skills (TOWES). The only tool currently available that corresponds with ARB is Read Forward.
