Evaluating the Sensitivity of the Maze as an Index of Reading Proficiency for Students Who Are Severely Deficient in Reading.
Faykus, Suzanne P.; McCurdy, Barry L.
Education and Treatment of Children, v21 n1 p1-21 Feb 1998
The sensitivity of two curriculum-based measurement procedures, maze (a modified cloze procedure), and oral reading, were evaluated with six students with mental retardation and concomitant emotional/behavioral disorders. Although teacher acceptability of the two procedures was equal, ideographic comparisons revealed oral reading fluency to be a more sensitive measure of reading progress. Students also rated oral reading more positively. (DB)
