Greater Validity for Oral Reading Fluency: Can Miscues Help?

Parker, Richard; And Others

Journal of Special Education, v25 n4 p492-503 Win 1992

This study examined the criterion-related validity of oral reading fluency (ORF), number of words read correctly per minute, with 64 regular, remedial, and special education elementary-level students. Comparison with two miscue-based assessment measures did not support modification of traditional ORF but did suggest practical value of selected miscue types as accuracy indices. (Author/DB)
