The Contribution of Retell to the Identification of Struggling Adolescent
Readers
This study examined the validity of a holistically-scored
retell within a confirmatory factor
analysis framework by comparing the fit of a three-factor model of reading
to the data from a diverse sample of seventh- and eighth-graders. Retell
potentially provided a different portrait of student’s reading
competence than ORF measures.
