[Lesley Farmer]

Oral reading tests may result in inappropriate placementsOral reading
tests fail to distinguish children who have trouble understanding words
from those with language-based disorders, according to a new study by
German and Newman. The use of such screening tests can result in
students being inappropriately placed or delay treatment for learning
disorders, researchers say. The study suggests the use of silent
reading tests and limited use of oral screenings.German, D., & Newman,
