Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and diagnostic accuracy of a CAT of reading (Star Reading) as it relates to a statewide, standardized assessment (Texas STAAR). The sample included approximately 1,200 students from grades three through five. Results suggest that Star Reading demonstrated consistently high levels of predictive accuracy across grade levels studied.
