Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v14 n6 p47-59 Nov-Dec 1993

This study examined the validity of a measure of reading proficiency in content areas with 121 grade-10 students. Correlational analyses revealed low-moderate to moderate correlations between reading measures and scores on a classroom study task, grade point average, and achievement test performance. Recommendations are made for implementation with special needs students. (Author/DB)
