"The purpose of this study was to assess whether Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) performance predicted student performance on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) for 360 seventh-grade students attending a rural middle school in the Inland Northwest. Linear and logistic regression analyses indicated that CBM Reading (WRC), Math Computation (CD), and Written Expression (CWS) measures were significant predictors of WASL Reading, Math, and Written Expression performance, respectively, during fall, winter, and spring quarters ofthe academic year. The predictive relation between CBM Written Expression (CWS) and WASL Writing was the strongest during each quarter"--Document.

"The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) performance predicted Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) performance for Grade 4 students in a rural Inland Northwest elementary school. Participants included 673 Grade 4 students who were administered CBM Reading, Math Computation, Written Expression, and Spelling measures in Fall, Winter, and Spring of the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 school years and who were administered the WASL in the Spring of those same years. Linear regression analyses indicated that CBM Reading, Math Computation, and Written Expression measures predicted performance on the corresponding WASL subtests. Chi-square analyses determined CBM cut scores for passing status on each WASL subtest. Findings are discussed in the context of current federal legislation mandating adequate academic progress for all students"--Document.

"The purpose of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of Curriculum- Based Measurement Reading (CBM-R) and the Qualitative Reading Inventory- Third Edition (QRI-3) for students in grades 3-5 attending a rural inland northwest elementary school and the predictive validity of CBM-R and QRI-3 for Washington Assessment of Student Learning Reading subtest (WASL Reading) performance for Grade 4 students in this same school. Results indicated that CBM-R and QRI-3 similarly classified students as Frustrational, Instructional, or Independent grade level readers for Grade 3 and 4 students, but not Grade 5. Pass status on CBM-R and QRI-3 was predictive of WASL Reading Pass status, with the QRI-3 the more accurate predictor. Fail status on both measures was a poor predictor of WASL Reading fail status"--Document.
