Abstract	This study investigated the relationships between three testing techniques and performance on four dimensions of oral reading performance. The three testing techniques were careful reading, reading for specific purposes, and reading for general purposes. The four dimensions of oral reading performance on which comparisons were made involved oral reading word accuracy, comprehension, rate, and the percentages of semantic substitutions. Forty-five third grade students and 45 sixth grade students were selected as subjects for the study. These subjects were then randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Each subject was requested to read orally in a manner dictated by the treatment group to which he had been assigned. The materials from which subjects read were the appropriate passages from Form A of the Gilmore Oral Reading Test. Measurements for oral reading word accuracy, comprehension, rate, and percentages of semantic substitutions were computed for each subject. An analysis of the data indicated that none of the research hypotheses was supported at the .05 level of significance. It was recommended that the effects of the three treatments employed in this study be reexamined using a classification scheme built around a theory of reading. (Author/WR)
