Shapiro, Edward S.; Dennis, Minyi Shih; Fu, Qiong – School Psychology Quarterly, 2015
The purpose of the study was to compare the use of a Computer Adaptive Test and Curriculum-Based Measurement in the assessment of mathematics. This study also investigated the degree to which slope or rate of change predicted student outcomes on the annual state assessment of mathematics above and beyond scores of single point screening…

Miller, Kelli Caldwell; Bell, Sherry Mee; McCallum, R. Steve – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
Because of the increased emphasis on standardized testing results, scores from a high-stakes, end-of-year test (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program [TCAP] Reading Composite) were used as the standard against which scores from a group-administered, curriculum-based measure (CBM), Monitoring Instructional Responsiveness: Reading (MIR:R), were…

The Utility and Accuracy of Oral Reading Fluency Score Types in Predicting Reading Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Petscher, Yaacov; Kim, Young-Suk – Journal of School Psychology, 2011
This study used data from the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS; Good & Kaminski, 2002) oral reading fluency (ORF) probes to examine variation among different ORF score types (i.e., the median of three passages, the mean of all three passages, the mean of passages 2 and 3, and the score from passage 3) in predicting…

Improving the Accuracy of a Direct Route Screening Process
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, Evelyn S.; Jenkins, Joseph R.; Petscher, Yaacov – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2010
In a response-to-intervention framework, schools typically employ a direct route approach to screening, in which students identified as at risk by a screening process are directly placed into intervention. Direct route approaches require screening decisions to be highly accurate, but few studies examining the predictive validity of reading…

The Differential Predictive Validity of the Initial Skills Analysis: Reading Screening Tests for K-3
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pomplun, Mark – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2004
The present study investigated the differential predictive validity of the Initial Skills Analysis. In the fall, these reading screening tests were administered to students in Grades K to 3. In the spring, a series of reading outcomes tests were administered to these same students, and teachers provided judgments of the students' reading skills.…

A Longitudinal Examination of the Diagnostic Accuracy and Predictive Validity of R-CBM and High-Stakes Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hintze, John M.; Silberglitt, Benjamin – School Psychology Review, 2005
The purpose of this study was to compare different statistical and methodological approaches to standard setting and determining cut scores using R-CBM and performance on high-stakes tests. One thousand seven hundred and sixty-six students were followed longitudinally from first through third grades using R-CBM benchmark assessment. In addition,…
