Oral reading fluency (ORF) assessments are commonly used to screen at-risk readers and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions as curriculum-based measurements. As with other assessments, equating ORF scores becomes necessary when we want to compare ORF scores from different test forms. Recently, Kara et al. (2023) proposed a model-based…

Direct linkMcCarthy, Mark D.; Domke, Lisa M.; Bian, Yue – Journal of Literacy Research, 2023
We believe that is culturally situated. In this conceptual article, we problematize some of the phrasing used for prosody indicators and explore how three of the most spoken languages in the United States (other than English) enact aspects of prosody when reading. We probe potential linguistic and sociocultural implications and contribute to the…

Richard P. Zipoli; Sujini Ramachandar – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Assessments of oral reading are widely used for screening, progress monitoring, and comprehensive evaluations. Despite the utility and technical adequacy of these tools, there are subgroups of students for whom measures of oral reading may be inappropriate. The first section of this article focuses on how tests of oral reading may underestimate…

Hugh W. Catts; Alan G. Kamhi – American Educator, 2025
Grassroots efforts and other advocacy have led to the vast majority of states adopting policies designed to improve the reading outcomes of all children, including those who struggle to read. Whereas these policies consider various aspects of reading, much of their emphasis has been on developing word reading accuracy and fluency through explicit…

Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called "MECO L2" (Multilingual Eye Movements…

Godde, Erika; Bosse, Marie-Line; Bailly, Gérard – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
The present work reviews the current knowledge of the development of reading prosody, or reading aloud with expression, in young children. Prosody comprises the variables of timing, phrasing, emphasis and intonation that speakers use to convey meaning. We detail the subjective rating scales proposed as a means of assessing performance in young…

Papadopoulos, Timothy C.; Csépe, Valéria; Aro, Mikko; Caravolas, Marketa; Diakidoy, Irene-Anna; Olive, Thierry – Reading Research Quarterly, 2021
Research on literacy has become universal and is essential for researchers of various disciplines, educators, and psychologists. For this article, we examined the most important methodological challenges that arise when conducting literacy research across languages, some of which have long been acknowledged in the relevant literature.…

Visser, Linda; Cartschau, Friederike; von Goldammer, Ariane; Brandenburg, Janin; Timmerman, Marieke; Hasselhorn, Marcus; Mähler, Claudia – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
The growing number of children in primary schools in Germany who have German as their second language (L2) has raised questions about the fairness of performance assessment. Fair tests are a prerequisite for distinguishing between L2 learning delay and a specific learning disability. We evaluated five commonly used reading and spelling tests for…

Ellis, Christie; Holston, Shannon; Drake, Graham; Putman, Hannah; Swisher, A.; Peske, Heather – National Council on Teacher Quality, 2023
The purpose of the Teacher Prep Review is to guarantee teachers have expertise in reading instruction (as well as other essential areas NCTQ assesses) before being trusted to teach children to read. By regularly reviewing the reading coursework provided by nearly 700 elementary teacher preparation programs, the National Council on Teacher Quality…

Rupley, William H.; Nichols, William Dee; Rasinski, Timothy V.; Paige, David – Education Sciences, 2020
Over the past two decades, reading fluency has been increasingly recognized as an important instructional variable for success in reading. Yet, this has not always been the case. This article presents a historical review of the nature and role of fluency instruction in the United States. The roots of oral reading fluency began in an age when texts…

Bolden, Benjamin; Beach, Pamela – General Music Today, 2021
This article builds on evidence-based teaching strategies to support a learning experience for third-grade students that integrates language and music. In the language-learning field, "prosody" refers to changes in volume, rhythm, and pitch that add expression and meaning when reading text aloud. When students incorporate prosodic…

Rasinski, Timothy – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2016
For years one of the most anticipated events in reading instruction has been Jack Cassidy and his colleagues' annual publication of the "What's Hot, What's Not" survey. In their present study, using longitudinal data from the What's Hot survey, Cassidy, Ortlieb, and Grote-Garcia (2016) make the case that because the Common Core Standards…

Bundock, Kaitlin; O'Keeffe, Breda V.; Stokes, Kristen; Kladis, Kristin – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2018
Research has shown that: (1) Curriculum-based monitoring (CBM) can be easily implemented and interpreted by teachers (e.g., Fuchs, Deno, & Mirkin, 1984); (2) student outcomes have improved when teachers use CBM to inform instructional decision making (e.g., Fuchs, Fuchs, Hamlett, & Stecker, 1991); (3) reliable and valid measures have been…

Tindal, Gerald – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2017
This paper is about oral reading fluency, how it has been measured, the students who have been measured, and the outcomes that have been reported for both performance and progress. This measurement system has almost become ubiquitous with documentation of response to intervention in reading and become a focal point of research on reading. Fluency…
