Progress Monitoring with Objective Measures of Writing Performance for Students with Mild Disabilities.

Parker, Richard I.; And Others

Exceptional Children, v58 n1 p61-73 Sep 1991

This study investigated the technical adequacy of 7 objective indexes of writing quality in monitoring the progress of 36 middle school students with mild disabilities over a 6-month period. Three indexes (such as "percent of legible words") were moderately correlated with holistic ratings but were not sufficiently stable over time. (Author/JDD)
