Fuchs, Lynn S.; Deno, Stanley L. – 1981
Reading placements based on teacher judgment, standardized testing, and curriculum-based assessment were compared for 91 elementary students. Results indicated that although correlations among the three placement approaches were high, the congruency of scores from the three approaches was not, ranging from 48% to 69%. The most dramatic evidence of…

Tindal, Gerald; Deno, Stanley L. – 1981
Evidence exists that reading achievement can be measured simply and validly by having students read aloud for one minute from vocabulary lists drawn from their basal reading series. Direct and frequent measurement of student performance using this procedure provides a means for continuously evaluating a student's instructional program. The present…

Peer reviewedShin, Jongho; Deno, Stanley L.; Espin, Christine – Journal of Special Education, 2000
A study examined the technical adequacy of curriculum-based measurement for assessing growth in 43 second-graders whose reading performance was measured monthly over the school year with the maze task. Results showed that the maze task had good alternate-form reliability, sensitively reflected improvement of student performance, and revealed…

Marston, Doug; Deno, Stanley L. – 1982
The accuracy of predictions of future student performance on the basis of graphing data on semi-logarithmic charts and equal interval graphs was examined. All 83 low-achieving students in grades 3 to 6 read randomly-selected lists of words from the Harris-Jacobson Word List for 1 minute. The number of words read correctly and words read…
