CORE+MAZE


 * Comprehension**

The tools you need to administer this assessment can be found in the **//Assessing Reading Multiple Measures//** manual (Distributed to IRT's, Special Education Literacy Leaders, Taking Action: RIAL PLT's and participants, as well as media centers where two additional copies were delivered for the professional library in the Fall of 2011. These additional copies were provided through District Improvement)
 * The CORE Reading Maze Comprehension Test measures a students ability to self monitor for meaning while reading silently for three minutes.**

I would like for you to view a video of this assessment being administered to an adolescent learner. In this video, I will be modeling both the practice passage, as well as MAZE 8-A. Investing a few minutes administering the practice passage to a student who has never completed a MAZE is highly recommended. This ensures that the student understands the task and yields more accurate results. . 1. Follow the link below to watch the demonstration video: [|CORE Maze Assessment Video]
