A Comparison of Four Methods of Determining Instructional Reading Levels.
Tulley, Michael A.; Farr, Roger
Reading Psychology, v8 n3 p149-68 1987
Examines the validity of estimates of instructional reading level produced by the Reading Comprehension Test of the 1986 Metropolitan Achievement Tests (MAT). Compares reading level estimates provided by the MAT, basal reader placement tests, an informal reading inventory, and classroom teachers' judgments. Suggests that each method, because of high percentages of agreement, yields similar information. (SKC)
