RIPM TECHNICAL REPORT #18: Characteristics of Reading Aloud, Word Identification, and Maze Selection as Growth Measures...and Consistency in Slopes
Product Description:
The purpose of this study was to investigate technical features of slopes from reading
aloud, word identification, and maze selection measures used to monitor reading progress of
students in Grades 1 through 5 and Grade 9 across 12 weeks. Specific research questions
included: (1) At each grade level, which measures produce slopes that are statistically
significantly greater than zero? (2) At each grade level, how often must progress monitoring
measures in reading be administered to obtain reliable slopes?
