Modeling Differential Speediness of Readers in Oral Reading Fluency Assessments

• In Event: Oral Reading Fluency Analyses

Abstract

This study proposes an extended speed and accuracy model to relax the assumption of constant reading speed in model-based oral reading fluency assessment. Variable reading speed is defined in the form of a quadratic growth model. Theoretical and practical implications are demonstrated through the analysis of an empirical dataset.
