USAID Read with Me Project in Tajikistan, Endline Early Grade Reading Assessment
Year: 2021
Grades: 2, 4
Assessment: EGRA
These EGR Barometer data are from the USAID Read with Me Project's Endline Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA), which was conducted in 2021. Read with Me was a 5-year project (2016-2021) that sought to understand trends in early grade reading performance in Tajik and Russian at the national level as well as in schools directly supported by the project in Tajikistan.
Grade 2 and 4 students were assessed using Tajik- and Russian-language adaptations of the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA), which measures student performance on the basic foundational skills required for fluency in reading. The results provide a national and regional snapshot of early grade reading in Tajikistan.
National Reading Benchmarks
Percentage of Students Meeting National Benchmark in 2021:
| Grade 2, Tajik |
| Grade 2, Russian |
| Grade 4, Tajik |
| Grade 4, Russian |
Oral reading fluency (ORF) is a measure of overall reading competence. The ORF score, or the number of correct words (cwpm) a student can read per minute, is used as a reading benchmark in the early grades.
Tajikistan's Ministry of Education and Science established the following national reading benchmarks:
- Grade 2 Benchmark = 40 cwpm
- Grade 4 Benchmark = 80 cwpm
