Book Description
A study was conducted using standard open-ended cloze testing to establish a criterion for the utility of content reading passages for students in grades four, seven, and ten in the subject areas of language arts and social studies. Passages were selected from books, novels, and textbooks required in these courses. It was found that most of the reading passages were too difficult for most of the students and that, especially for students at the low end of the reading ability scale and in the lower grades, there were few appropriate materials at all. Social studies materials were found to be more difficult than language arts materials. Following a count of mean word size of the passages, a series of calibrating regression analyses were carried out to produce readability formulas that are on the same scales as the multiple-choice cloze test and the standard reading comprehension tests used in the schools. The formulas, when applied to a passage, estimate the test score a student would need to reach criterion on an open-ended cloze test or to understand the passage. (MKM)
