    Study Notes

    GORT-5 vs WIAT-4 Oral Reading Fluency

    • GORT-5:

      • Uses the "Slash Marking System"
      • Self-corrections are marked as deviations
      • Insertions or repetitions are considered one deviation
      • Does not stop timing if examiner must provide a word
      • Miscue analysis system to analyze reading errors and tailor interventions
      • Norm-referenced: 6 years 0 mths to 23 years 11 months
      • Two equivalent forms: Form A and Form B
      • Each form contains 16 developmentally sequenced reading passages
      • Each passage has five comprehension questions
      • Uses a combination of accuracy and rate to calculate the fluency score
      • Oral reading index: Mean = 100, SD = 15
      • Comprehension score: number of questions answered correctly

    • WIAT-4:

      • Uses "Addition Errors + Omission Errors" to calculate accuracy.
      • Fluency is calculated differently:
        • (Total Word Count – Omission Error) X 60 / Completion Time
      • Has a basal and ceiling rule.
      • If a student doesn't reach a basal for fluency, the test is not invalidated.
      • If a student doesn't reach a ceiling for fluency, the test is not invalidated.
      • Scores for rate, accuracy, and fluency are given full credit for all stories below the basal.

    Establishing Basal and Ceiling in WIAT-4

    • Basal:
      • A fluency score of 9 or 10 for two consecutive stories.
    • Ceiling:
      • A fluency score of 2 or less for two consecutive stories.
    • If a student doesn't reach a basal for the first two stories, continue testing until a ceiling or Story 16 is reached. Then, return to the story before entry level and reverse until a basal is reached or Story 1 is administered.
    • The basal rule does not apply for comprehension scores; only give full credit for unadministered stories.

    Administration

    • GORT:

      • Do not stop timing if you have to provide a word.
      • If the examinee skips a line, stop the timer, redirect the examinee to the correct line. Restart the timer as soon as the examinee resumes reading on the correct line.

    • WIAT-4:

      • Caution: If the examinee reaches multiple basals or ceilings, give full credit for all stories below the basal for fluency scores even if they have been administered. However, for comprehension, only give full credit for unadministered stories.
      • All comprehension items above the fluency ceiling are given zero points.
