The purpose of the RTF
measure is to (a) prevent inadvertently learning or practicing a misrule, (b) identify children whose comprehension is not consistent with their fluency, (c) provide an explicit linkage to the core components in the NRP report, and (d) increase the face validity of the
ORF.
The latest study of which I'm aware on use of
ORF for progress monitoring as a General Outcome
Measure (GOM) is January, S.A. (2018).
Teachers and schools may mistakenly conclude that intense instruction on the skill
measured by the screening tool (e.g.,
ORF) will result in improved overall reading ability.
In earlier grades, word identification fluency (WIF) is also a strong predictor of early reading ability, but again, not a perfect one (Fuchs, Fuchs, & Compton, 2004; Schatschneider, 2006) This means that screening instruments that rely on single
measures such as
ORF or WIF will provide fairly good information about student performance, but alone they can't provide information at levels needed for an effective RTI process (> 90 % sensitivity; > 80 % specificity).
Measures of oral reading fluency (
ORF) are perhaps the most often used assessment to monitor student progress as part of a response to intervention (RTI) model.
