Reading assessment--decoding and comprehension

[staceyshoe]

We're planning to hs next year, and I would really like to have ds's reading level assessed--both his decoding ability and his reading comprehension. Is there a reliable way to do this at home?

I've never actually done this (though I might now if dd is cooperative, it looks kind of fun) but a little googling turned up this useful looking page:

It lists a number of different assessment options.
