In this technical report, we present the results of a reliability study of the seventh-grade multiple choice reading comprehension measures available on the easyCBM learning system conducted in the spring of 2011. Analyses include split-half reliability, alternate form reliability, person and item reliability as derived from Rasch analysis, top/bottom reliability, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results suggest adequate reliability for the seventh-grade multiple choice reading comprehension measures. Tables are appended.
