Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) is designed to measure students' academic status and growth so the effectiveness of instruction may be evaluated. In the most popular forms of reading CBM, the student's oral reading fluency is assessed. This behavior is difficult to sample in a computer-based format, a limitation that may be a function of the lack of available measures for silent reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. In this technical report, we describe the development of three specific CBM reading measures designed for a computer format: silent reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
