Riverside Publishing creates highly regarded educational testing products in print, CD-ROM, and online formats.

In the group-administered assessment market, the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills^® and the Iowa Tests of Educational Development^® provide valuable information about student progress and classroom achievement. These time-tested, rigorously-researched norm-referenced tests are an excellent measure of academic growth in grades K–12, offer three parallel test forms, and provide a host of flexible reporting options.

In addition to norm-referenced tests like The Iowa Tests^®, Riverside also develops custom, criterion-referenced tests that are tied to specific standards and used to measure students' attainment of state- or district-developed content objectives. Riverside provides instructional tools to help teachers assess concepts that cannot be readily measured by traditional large-scale assessments. While many of these tests are developed under contracts with state departments of education for large-scale programs, Riverside has also developed tests for national or targeted state-level use.

With new norms and online administration and reporting options, the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests (GMRT) are an even more powerful tool. GMRT uses scientific research to provide valid, reliable, and norm-referenced data about reading achievement.

The Diagnostic Assessments of Reading (DAR), Second Edition, assess the five critical components of reading and provide an in-depth analysis of reading proficiency. Coupled with the Trial Teaching Strategies, DAR offers educators helpful tips and strategies for remediation based on students' strengths and weaknesses.
