Re: QRI or Gray Oral Reading?
Posted by holly on 4/14/08

    It's important to note that, in a recent study of comprehension
    measures (appeared in Scientific Studies of Reading in, I think,
    2006), the GORT was found to be seriously flawed. The problem
    with the test is something called "passage independence" of the
    test items. It was found that a large number of the questions
    could be answered correctly without having ever seen the
    passage. Interestingly, a comparison was made with the QRI and
    it was found to be a much better measure of comprehension.
    You're right that the QRI is not standardized, which can pose a
    problem in some circumstances, but it is a more valid measure of
    reading comprehension than the GORT.
