Cutting & Scarborough (2006) Study on Reading Comprehension Assessments
Cutting and Scarborough (2006) studied the correlation between inference-making and how reading comprehension is assessed across three different tests. They found that the relationship between reading comprehension and oral language skills varied depending on the test used:
- Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT): Students read short, two- to three-sentence texts in silence and answer short, open-ended questions for each text (one literal and one inferential question).
- Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test: Students silently read texts with a maximum of fifteen sentences and answer multiple-choice questions.
- Gray Oral Reading Test (Third Edition): Students read texts of six to seven sentences out loud, followed by answering multiple-choice questions without referring back to the passages.
