- *Abstract
-
The Computer Based Assessment System for Reading (CBAS-R) software program provides educators with a formative assessment than includes screening, progress monitoring, and skills analysis to be used in the classroom. The reading assessment software dynamically formulates individualized reading assessments for students with a kindergarten to fifth grade skill level. Computer adaptive testing is more efficient than traditional testing methods because it only exposes the test taker to questions within their skill level. The assessments build upon a test taker's previous answers, bracketing their ability level, and adapting future questions to the student's capability. These computer based tests serve all students, but are tailored to meet the needs of students who are at risk for reading difficulties, are receiving supplemental services, and have an Individualized Education Plan.
