This book concerns measuring reading skills. It is not meant to be a compre hensive survey of reading research or a review of all possible approaches to reading measurement (although considerable attention is given to both subjects). Instead, the purpose of this book is to present a coherent, theoretically based approach to measuring reading competence. The ability to measure a phenomenon is an important prerequisite for scientific analysis. As Lord Kelvin said, "One's knowledge of science begins when he can measure what he is speaking about and express it in numbers." Unfortunately, not just any numbers will do. Presently available reading tests provide their users with a plethora of numbers-age levels, percentiles, grade equivalents-but their scientific value is questionable. The problem is that there is more to scientific measurement than merely assigning numbers to arbitrarily chosen behaviors. Scientific measurement occurs only within the confines of a theory, and most reading tests are atheoretical. Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth in reading research.

First published in 2001. This is a special issue Volume 5, Number 3, from 2001 of Scientific Studies of Reading that looks at the DNA of reading fluency in scientific inquiry accounts. The contributors offer a selection of essays seeks to establish that that fluent reading is plainly developmental and represents an outcome of well-specified sub lexical and lexical processes and skills developed for most children over a bounded period of pedagogical time, rather than in just the school setting.

This study compared the construct validity and the predictive validity of a new test, called the Cognitive Structure Test, to multiple-choice tests of reading skill, namely the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery Paragraph Comprehension Test (ASVABpc) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) . To test the hypothesis that the Cognitive Structure Test is a better test of reading skill, 347 Air Force recruits read 16 technical and scientific passages (8 from the ASVABpc and 8 from the SAT) and took both multiple-choice and Cognitive Structure tests on the passages. For each passage the recruits' Cognitive Structure Test responses were compared to the responses of two experts who also read the passage and took the Cognitive Structure Tests (a total of 32 experts) . These experts also took the multiple-choice tests. Results indicated that the two tests measured very similar constructs and had similar reliability (Chronbach's Alpha) ratings (Cognitive Structure Test, .63; Multiple- choice test, .68) Results showed that the Cognitive Structure Test was superior to the multiple-choice tests in predicting final Technical School grade point averages for the recruits, and equivalent to the multiple-choice tests in predicting the ASVAB vocational and general science tests, and general knowledge tests. For the ASVAB passages, the Cognitive Structure Test predicted the final Techschool scores, but the multiple-choice test did not. Both tests predicted domain specific knowledge and general ability.
