In assessing reading comprehension, it is recommended that multiple measures be considered, in addition to considering the student’s day to day classroom performance. Timed assessments of reading comprehension may provide a measure of a student’s reading speed, rather than comprehension skills. Open-ended question formats also require written communication skills. Looking at broad measures of reading comprehension may not provide adequate information regarding specific underlying skills required for reading comprehension, including, but not limited to: vocabulary, listening comprehension, decoding, and fluency.
