The NAEP Reading Proficiency Scale Is Not a Fiction: A Reply to McLean and Goldstein.
Carroll, John B.
Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n10 p761-64 Jun 1988
Refutes Leslie MacLean and Harvey Goldstein's charges (in the January 1988 "Kappan") that the National Assessment of Educational Progress Reading Proficiency Scale is based on a single assumption (reading proficiency) accounting for responses to all reading tasks. Characterizes the scale as developmental, with points corresponding to various reading competency stages. Includes 20 references. (MLH)
