| Abstract | A study investigated whether a positive correlation existed between scores obtained by incoming freshman on the recently developed Degrees of Reading Power Test (DRP) and the required Reading Comprehension subtest of the New Jersey College Basic Skills Placement Test (NJCBSPT). The subjects, 217 William Paterson College freshman enrolled in a lower level developmental reading course and 91 enrolled in a higher level course, were pretested with the NJCBSPT in the summer of 1987 before course enrollment. Placement in developmental reading courses was made based on scores obtained with this test. Pretesting with the DRP took place the first week of class and posttests were conducted at the end of the semester. Results indicated that the new test, DRP, does correlate positively with the current state test, NJCBSPT, in its present format. For this sample, sex was a factor on the DRP, with males significantly outperforming females across levels. Students who completed a basic skills course which emphasized comprehension strategies taught through the reading of a variety of whole texts (content area selections, news stories, and novels) made significant gains as measured by comprehension tests such as DRP and NJCBSPT. The direct-instruction-via-whole-language-materials model appears to be effective. (RS) |
