Baldwin, R. Scott; And Others

Reading Research and Instruction, v29 n1 p33-38 Fall 1989

Investigates whether the Nelson-Denny Reading Test's time restrictions may bias the performances of marginal students. Finds that the Nelson-Denny scores alone may provide biased measures of reading ability. Recommends that test makers develop extended time norms. (MG)
