Evaluation Method
• Students were pretested in Fall 2009 and posttested in Spring 2010
• Individual assessments using four subtests of Woodcock Johnson III Achievement Test
(WJ-III)• Raw scores were converted to age-referenced
standard scores to measure growth
Description of Subtests
• Letter-Word Identification: List of individual words for student to read aloud
• Passage Comprehension: Short sentences containing a blank for student to read and supply appropriate word
• Reading Fluency: Short sentences for student to read quickly and identify as true or false
• Word Attack: List of “nonsense” words for student to read aloud, measuring phonics skills
What are Standard Scores?
• Age-referenced standard scores account for expected academic growth.
A student who makes expected growth would have the same standard score at the pretest and posttest. An increase in a standard score indicates greater than
expected growth; a decrease indicates the opposite.
• The AVERAGE standard score for the WJ-III is 100 where 90-110 is the average range.
