Diagnosis of Reading Disability: Word Prediction Abilities Tests.

Allington, Richard L.

Academic Therapy, n14 n3 p267-74 Jan 1979

An informal test of word prediction abilities is suggested to aid in diagnostic assessment of reading ability. The test proposed would include evaluation of auditory and visual cloze abilities. The test, given in conjunction with a test stressing abilities to use graphic and phonic cues, should provide improved assessment of a student's abilities. (PHR)
