Azucena Maria Parra – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Recent standardized state tests have revealed a consistent decline in reading scores across grade levels, forcing conversation about intervention in place to combat this. Developed using Vygotsky's theory of Zone of proximal development, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Read 180 reading intervention program promises to close reading gaps of up to two…

Yu-Cin Jian; Leo Yuk Ting Cheung – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study aimed to investigate whether elementary school students have different reading strategies based on various levels of text-diagram integrative processing and whether these reading strategies remain consistent or change over a three-year period. The study followed 176 students from grades four to six and observed their eye movements while…

Haladyna, Thomas M.; Rodriguez, Michael C. – Educational Assessment, 2021
Full-information item analysis provides item developers and reviewers comprehensive empirical evidence of item quality, including option response frequency, point-biserial index (PBI) for distractors, mean-scores of respondents selecting each option, and option trace lines. The multi-serial index (MSI) is introduced as a more informative…

Zawoyski, Andrea M.; Ardoin, Scott P.; Binder, Katherine S. – School Psychology, 2023
Teachers often encourage students to use test-taking strategies during reading comprehension assessments, but these strategies are not always evidence-based. One common strategy involves teaching students to read the questions before reading an associated passage. Research findings comparing the passage-first (PF) and questions-first (QF)…

Castells, Núria; Minguela, Marta; Nadal, Esther – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Little evidence is available regarding the differential impact of reading versus reading and writing on multiple source comprehension. The present study aims to: (1) compare the inferential comprehension performance of students in reading versus reading/synthesis conditions; (2) explore the impact of performing the tasks on paper versus on screen…

Ji, Xuejun Ryan; Wu, Amery D. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
The Cross-Classified Mixed Effects Model (CCMEM) has been demonstrated to be a flexible framework for evaluating reliability by measurement specialists. Reliability can be estimated based on the variance components of the test scores. Built upon their accomplishment, this study extends the CCMEM to be used for evaluating validity evidence.…

Diyorjon Abdullaev; Djuraeva Laylo Shukhratovna; Jamoldinova Odinaxon Rasulovna; Jumanazarov Umid Umirzakovich; Olga V. Staroverova – International Journal of Language Testing, 2024
Local item dependence (LID) refers to the situation where responses to items in a test or questionnaire are influenced by responses to other items in the test. This could be due to shared prompts, item content similarity, and deficiencies in item construction. LID due to a shared prompt is highly probable in cloze tests where items are nested…
