Description
Tests of reading ability have long been a standard element of schools and teaching institutions. Such tests are useful for documenting the normal growth and maturation of
the child as a reader as well as assessing reading problems or deficiencies. Reading is traditionally defined as the act of decoding and comprehending text. All tests of reading ability must demonstrate measurement ofboth components to actually evaluate one's reading. Comprehension is customarily measured by the administration of a series of questions about the test material or passage. Decoding is assessed a number of different ways; typically, it involves timing the reading of a passage, counting mistakes made, or evaluating phonation and receptive vocabulary. It is possible that evaluating oral reading may be somewhat unnatural; that is, decoding and comprehension scores after oral reading are sometimes lower than after silent reading. An alternative model attempts to assess the decoding process by objectively monitoring eye movements made during reading. Through the use of normative data, this model converts raw eye movement data into a grade level score. The grade level score, when considered in conjunction with the comprehension score, can be used to predict one's reading level or ability. |
