York, Mary J.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Santi, Kristi L.; Francis, David J. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2011
We examined student-, classroom-, and school-level effects in predicting second-grade Spanish-speaking children's oral reading fluency in Spanish. Teachers in 67 randomly selected urban schools administered the Tejas LEE to 1,537 first- and second-grade students. Oral reading fluency was measured in the passages students read for comprehension.…
