Core Reading Maze Comprehension Test

Reading comprehension is essential to students’ progress in school. However, many teachers use a variety of different assessments to assess reading comprehension. Some of these tests measure the amount of time it takes a student to read a passage and others measure the number of mistakes (e.g., omissions,insertions,substitutions,mispronunciations). The Core reading maze comprehension test is one of these tests that measures the amount of time it takes to read a passage and it also measures the number of mistakes a student makes.

To examine the relationship between code-related and language comprehension skills, we compared the demands of CBM-Maze (a formative assessment) and the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Comprehension test (a standardized summative assessment). We used multigroup structural regression models with phantom factors to evaluate and compare these demands.

Our results showed that the demands of these two assessments covary with each other. The demand for decoding decreased across grades, but the demands for fluency remained stable. The demands of the tests also correlated with vocabulary and listening comprehension skills. However, these relationships were not significant.
