From limited research, MAZE passages appear to assess primarily syntactic features of reading comprehension. They are a decent measure for progress monitoring fluent readers who have an isolated difficulty with comprehension (a fairly rare phenomenon). However, if the student struggles at all with fluency, R-CBM (e.g. DIBELS ORF) is a better general indicator of reading proficiency.M Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066875166468468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9539359.post-20491676568127488792007-11-07T11:11:00.000-06:002007-11-07T11:11:00.000-06:00To my knowledge MAZE is not based on Goodman's fla...To my knowledge MAZE is not based on Goodman's flawed assumptions. It is a modification of the CLOZE procedure and is a measure of comprehension not reading fluency or accuracy (though readers have to read both fluently and accurately to see success on this task).Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494381460252804101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9539359.post-1122923524250958782005-08-01T14:12:00.000-05:002005-08-01T14:12:00.000-05:00fast, fluent, and automaticExpertise always looks ...<I> fast, fluent, and automatic</I><BR/><BR/>Expertise always looks like this.<BR/><BR/>Universally, that's how people know they've mastered something: when they've become fast, fluent, and automatic.<BR/><BR/>This is why we speak of being fluent in a foreign language.<BR/><BR/>sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
