Accommodation vs. Modification
• States are not in agreement on read aloud on reading tests
• Many students use read aloud even when “not allowed” by the state– In California nearly 4,000 fourth graders took
the STAR English Language Arts assessment in 2004 with the test read aloud
• Schools are torn between complying with state policy to not allow read aloud and federal regulations to allow all accommodations used in the classroom

Prior Research
• No Differential Boost– Kosciokek & Ysseldyke (2000). Small sample size
(n=31)– Meloy, Deville, and Frisbie (2002) – Between
subjects design (n=260, 76% non-disabled, random assigned to audio or standard)
– McKevitt & Elliott (2003) Small sample size (n=39)
• Differential Boost– Crawford and Tindal (2004) (n=338, 78% non-
disabled)– Fletcher, et. al (2006) Between subjects design
(random assigned to audio or standard) and sample included 91 Dyslexic (poor decoder) and 91 average decoders

Data Collected
• 2 Reading Comprehension Tests– Extra Time– Extra Time with Read Aloud via CD
• 2 Fluency Measures• 2 Decoding Measures (4th grade only)• Student Survey• Teacher Survey

Preliminary Findings
• Differential Boost at both 4th and 8th grades (i.e., students with LD had significantly greater score gains from read aloud than non-LD students)
• Differential Boost (at both grades) even after controlling for Reading Fluency

Additional Analyses Planned
• Examine if controlling for decoding and fluency result in differential boost
• Differential Item Functioning between groups
• Examine which variables (decoding, fluency, teacher ratings, student ratings) best predict boost from audio

Additional Analyses Planned
• Predictive Validity of test scores – Compute regression equation for non-
RLD standard score to other measure of RC (e.g., teacher ratings, state test scores, and/or fluency measure
– Examine over/under estimations of non-LD audio, RLD audio, and RLD standard
