当分级阅读器既被用作广泛阅读项目中的简化阅读材料，又被用作实验中的主要工具时，必须使学习者与适当水平的分级阅读器相匹配。在广泛的阅读课程中，缺乏控制能力水平会阻碍学习者成功地发展阅读。在广泛的阅读研究中也会造成不可靠的结果。为了指导学习者阅读适当水平的分级阅读材料，需要为此目的采取实际可行的措施。本文阐述了两种分层教学方法在阅读教学中的构建。有两个阶段。第一阶段详细说明了两个测试是如何构建和试点的。第二阶段包括两项措施的最后试验和结果。统计数据表明，词汇量测试和基于分级阅读的完形填空测试是衡量广泛阅读成绩的有效方法。数据表明，这两种测试都能在合理的程度上准确地将学习者置于分级读者的正确水平。这两种测量方法对广泛阅读教学的实践有一定的启示。
Matching learners with the right level of graded readers is necessary when graded readers are exploited as both simplified reading materials in extensive reading programs and major instruments in the experiments. A lack of controlling ability level can prevent learners from succeeding in developing reading in an extensive reading program. It would also cause unreliable results in research in extensive reading. To direct learners to the appropriate level of graded reading material, practical acceptable measures for this purpose are required. This article sets out to describe the construction of the two measures for placement in extensive reading. There were two stages. Stage I detailed how the two tests were constructed and piloted. The second stage included final trials of the two measures and the results. Statistical evidence showed that the two tests, namely the vocabulary-size test and the graded reading-based cloze test, could be workable and useful measures for placement in extensive reading. Data indicated that the two tests could accurately place learners in the right level of graded readers at reasonable degree. Implications of the two measures were drawn for practice in extensive reading programs.
