Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of Curriculum- Based Measurement Reading (CBM-R) and the Qualitative Reading Inventory- Third Edition (QRI-3) for students in grades 3-5 attending a rural inland northwest elementary school and the predictive validity of CBM-R and QRI-3 for Washington Assessment of Student Learning Reading subtest (WASL Reading) performance for Grade 4 students in this same school. Results indicated that CBM-R and QRI-3 similarly classified students as Frustrational, Instructional, or Independent grade level readers for Grade 3 and 4 students, but not Grade 5. Pass status on CBM-R and QRI-3 was predictive of WASL Reading Pass status, with the QRI-3 the more accurate predictor. Fail status on both measures was a poor predictor of WASL Reading fail status"--Document.
