Direct linkYouman, Martha; Mather, Nancy – Contemporary School Psychology, 2020
While significant research has been done on the assessment of reading and dyslexia with native English speakers, little has been done with English language learners (ELLs). This lack of research creates challenges for practitioners who are working with ELLs in schools. These professionals must make decisions about placements, interventions, and…

Siegel, Linda S. – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2019
Dyslexia and other learning disabilities are not being properly recognized and treated in our educational system or society at large. Unrecognized and untreated learning disabilities represent a serious social and economic problem, not only to the individual but to society as a whole. For example, antisocial behavior, as seen in prison populations…

A Prediction Model of Foreign Language Reading Proficiency Based on Reading Time and Text Complexity
Download full textKotani, Katsunori; Yoshimi, Takehiko; Isahara, Hitoshi – Online Submission, 2010
In textbooks, foreign (second) language reading proficiency is often evaluated through comprehension questions. In case, authentic texts are used as reading material, such questions should be prepared by teachers. However, preparing appropriate questions may be a very demanding task for teachers. This paper introduces a method for automatically…

Johnston, Timothy C.; Kirby, John R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2006
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether naming speed makes a contribution to the prediction of reading comprehension, after taking into account the product of word decoding and listening comprehension (i.e., the Simple View of Reading; [Gough, P.B. & Tunmer, W.E. (1986). "Remedial and Special Education 7," 6-10]), and…

Converse, Jerry – 1978
Although reading flexibility (readers' adjustment of their reading rates at levels of comprehension beyond the easiest levels) is a term that has appeared in the literature since 1928, no satisfactory test has been devised to measure it. Three problems must be solved first: another measurement than words per minute must be found; readability must…

Spearritt, Donald – Australian Journal of Reading, 1980
Reports research results suggesting that teachers need to assess several facets of reading comprehension, such as vocabulary, comprehension of passages, and speed of reading, in order to obtain an adequate picture of students' reading skills. (AEA)

Gallo, Donald R. – 1972
In this assessment of the reading rate and literal comprehension skills of 9, 13, and 17 year olds, and of young adults between the ages of 26 and 35, individuals were asked to read two passages, one more difficult than the other according to readability formulas. Then each subject was asked to answer five multiple choice comprehension questions…

Peer reviewedPotter, Margaret L.; Wamre, Heidi M. – Exceptional Children, 1990
The paper outlines the rationale and development of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) and its empirical support; summarizes two reading models (Chall's stages of reading development and LaBerge and Samuels' model of automaticity); and discusses how CBM, with its use of oral reading rate measures, and the reading models may validate each other.…
