The first half of this report is concerned with the measurement of student achievement in reading comprehension. Following the introduction there is a brief critique of standardized, norm-referenced tests of student performance in reading. It is argued that school districts need tests that are sensitive to instructional treatments rather than more global measures of reading ability. In the section, New Measures of Student Achievement, comprehension is defined and then a multiple-choice cloze testing system is presented. In the next section of the paper the measurement of program resources is discussed. The measurement of resources utilization in units of time is offered as the most accurate, useful assessment of program resources. Finally, the work on the measurement of student achievement and program resources and methodology in productivity analyses is summarized, and a statewide survey of productivity in reading programs is proposed. The Technical Appendix provides a detailed summary of procedures, results, and survey instruments. It is written for the research specialist interested in the Main Report's conclusions. It is designed to clarify procedures and results and to present studies which will help reduce disagreement over some of the research approaches employed. (RC)
