Measuring Comprehension Growth in Young Children: Problems and Pitfalls Patricia Mathes, Ph.D. Southern Methodist University Institute for Reading Research November 12, 2004 Washington, DC © SMU Institute for Reading Research

The Problem Few, if any, measures adequately measure if children, who are still beginning readers, are making growth in their ability to comprehend text, beyond their ability to decode that text. © SMU Institute for Reading Research

Role of Decoding Early measures of comprehension are highly correlated to measures of word reading. © SMU Institute for Reading Research

Correlations among outcome variables 1. SAT 9 Comp. 2. Oral Read Rate .62 3. Word Efficiency .61 .91 4. Word Ident. .60 .79 .82 5. Passage Comp. .58 .73 .74 .82 6. TPRI comp. .28 .33 .32 .39 .45 7. NonW Effic. .48 .79 .82 .76 .66 .27 8. Word Attack .43 .59 .65 .80 .71 .32 .76 9. Verbal IQ .22 .02 .04 .15 .18 .04 .10 .16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 © SMU Institute for Reading Research

Time Matters Measures that appear to have promise, also require additional time. If comprehension is only one of many outcomes being assessed, then each assessment cannot take long or children become fatigued. © SMU Institute for Reading Research

Examples from Research Intervention 1: Comprehensive small group intervention incorporating: Phonemic awareness, Alphabetic knowledge and skills, Text fluency, vocabulary, and Comprehension strategy work. © SMU Institute for Reading Research

Conclusions Woodcock Passage Comprehension may not be sensitive. Decoding difficulty increases quickly, but not level of meaning processing. Researchers should be using other measures. But what should these measures be? © SMU Institute for Reading Research
