ABSTRACT:
The disparity between the results of
state accountability tests in
reading and the 4th grade National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) has left many educators dismayed and concerned. In this article
the authors describe a comparison of assessment approaches evident in
NAEP to the approaches taken in a sample of state tests. The authors
found sizeable differences in the use of open-ended items, in the
proportion of items that demand higher levels of thinking, and in the
use of distractors that undercut the type of thinking that many items
were designed to demand of the reader. The results of this study
suggest that not all tests of reading are created equal and that NAEP
is likely to be able to distinguish among advanced, proficient, and
basic readers far more effectively than the state tests in their sample.
