Foundations of Early Literacy Assessment (FELA): Individual, criterion-referenced test of phonological awareness and the alphabetic principle suitable for early primary school children. Designed for rapid screening and progress monitoring in primary schools. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessments cover phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency, and are freely available from a University of Oregon website. Please let me know if you think I’ve omitted a really great test, particularly a cost-effective or free one. 
There are dozens of available assessments relevant to word reading and spelling skills, so this list is in no way comprehensive, but I hope includes useful information.
