- I think this test should be administered more to see if there is progression
- I have never heard of this test and thought is was very interesting to learn and to try my self. Its hard to think of different examples when not given to you.

- If a student is not able complete Part A and B of the assessment just stop the rest of the assessment. 
-  Also if the students are not able to complete part C or D stop the assessment if the students are able to complete each one
- Doing the Deletion Test is critical for students who have reading difficulties or dyslexia

- Put another way, this assessment allows you to determine if the student is struggling  because of a phoneme problem.  
- According to research, lack of phonemic awareness is the strongest determinant of likelihood of reading trouble.

The results could mean the student may have deficits in reading or spelling delays. 

- If the student scores low they will need intensive instruction and extensive practices in phonological awareness skills.

-"A student who scores significantly  below the 50th percentile according to Hasbrouck and Tindal's Oral Reading Fluency Norms should be further assessed using  diagnostic  tests that measure decoding skills and phonemic awareness before concluding that fluency alone is the problem" (CORE, 2018, pg. 81). -JP

  • "The results of the reading vocabulary assessment are reported as the number of words correct. A student who scores at the Intensive level (49% or less correct) may be having significant difficulty with understanding grade-level material because of insufficient vocabulary knowledge. A student who scores at the strategic level (between 50% and 74% correct) may be having some difficulty understanding grade-level material because of insufficient vocabulary knowledge.

This measure is consistent across assessment passages and grades, so a student's understanding of the text can be compared to prior or subsequent assessments and with other students in the same grade. A student with few correct responses may be experiencing reading difficulties, so the measure can be used for screening (Core, 2008, p. 154).  For progress monitoring purposes, the maze assessment may be used more than once if the students receive no feedback about their responses.  Goal setting can be accomplished using the information in the table.  Typical students will show a score increase from the beginning to the end of the school year (Core, 2008, p. 154). -ES

    "A useful strategy to improve students' understanding of text is to pair reading with comprehension checks through peer questions, summarization, or retelling. It is important to test them on other skills including fluency, vocabulary, and, if necessary, phonics and decoding" ( CORE,2008, pg.152). If students can be tested on other skills along with being able to pair reading with other strategies, their levels of performance will improve from fall to spring. -RR
