Can Scores on an Interim High School Reading Assessment Accurately Predict Low Performance on College Readiness Exams? Stated Briefly. REL 2016-134

Regional Educational Laboratory Southeast

This study examines whether scores from an interim reading assessment in grade 9, the Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading--Florida Standards, can be used to identify students who may score below the college readiness benchmark on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and ACT Plan in grade 10. Using scores on an existing interim reading assessment in an early warning system could enable districts to identify at-risk students without an additional testing burden, time away from instruction, or added cost. [For the full report, see ED565632.]
