  1. Gray Oral Reading Tests Amy Koenig, Sammy Loveless, and Kim Manley

  2. The gray oral reading tests • The GORT is used to measure oral reading rate, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. • Reading rate is determined by the time taken to read a story, and accuracy is the ability of the student to read words correctly. • Fluency is determined by combining both scores. • Reading comprehension is measured using multiple-choice questions after each story.

  3. Uses of the Gray oral reading tests • The GORT can be used to identify students who are performing below grade level. • The GORT can be used to determine students’ strengths and weaknesses in reading • The GORT can be used to monitor student progress in reading.

  4. Administration • The GORT is administered to students individually. • Students read aloud from a selected passage while the teacher completes a miscue analysis. • Once the student has finished reading, the teacher records the student’s time as well as any mistakes. • The teacher then reads the multiple choice questions aloud to the student, and the student responds orally to the questions.

  5. Validity & Reliability • The GORT has a high reliability: average internal consistency reliabilities are .90 or above. • Validity has been studied, and the research determined that the GORT-4 measures changes in oral reading over time.

  6. strengths • The GORT-4 measures oral reading rate, accuracy, and comprehension all at the same time.

  7. Weaknesses • The reading comprehension questions are multiple choice, so it is possible for students to obtain correct answers even if they did not comprehend the passages. Therefore, the GORT may not provide accurate information about a student’s reading comprehension capabilities.

  8. Norming & Population • The GORT-4 was normed on a sample of over 1,600 students aged 6-18. • The norming is consistent with the intended population – the GORT-4 is intended for use with students aged 6-18. • The normative sample was stratified to correspond to demographic variables including race, gender, ethnicity, and geographic region.

  9. Sample passage • Form B, Story 2 • “The girl likes to ride her new bike. It is yellow with white stars. She can ride very fast. But she goes slowly when she sees a car. She stops at the red light. She goes when it turns green.”
