Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This illuminating book delves into the historical challenges and contemporary debates regarding the measurement and evaluation of reading comprehension. It begins by exploring the widespread concerns about low literacy rates highlighted by large-scale assessments, particularly among military recruits during World War I. The author traces the subsequent development of various reading comprehension tests, from those relying on recall and reproduction of written passages to those focused on answering questions or following instructions. However, these methods have been criticized for potentially confounding the assessment of comprehension skills with unrelated abilities such as memory and composition. The book argues for the need for more sophisticated and reliable measurement tools that accurately capture the essence of reading comprehension. It emphasizes the importance of considering multiple factors that influence reading performance, such as working memory, attention span, and the ability to make inferences and draw connections. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of reading comprehension measurement, its ongoing challenges, and the crucial role it plays in understanding and improving literacy levels. Its insights are essential for researchers, educators, and policymakers seeking to enhance the effectiveness of reading instruction and assessment.
