NAEP Technical DocumentationNew and Common Blocks for the 2020 Reading Long-Term Trend Assessment
The NAEP 2020 reading long-term trend assessment cognitive instruments were a subset of those used in the 2012 long-term trend assessment. The table below displays the 2020 reading long-term trend assessment new and common blocks for ages 9 and 13. Although a limited number of 2012 reading long-term trend tables that were included in the Technical Documentation on the Web (TDW) used

from the Restricted-Use Data Products rather than TDW, all 2020 blocks are in fact common to 2012.
