Abstract
University of MinnesotaThis study investigated slope bias on student background variables for bothCurriculum Based Measurement of Oral Reading (CBM-R) and Curriculum BasedMeasurement Maze Reading (Maze). Benchmark scores from 1,738 students inGrades 3 through 8 were used to examine potential slope bias in CBM-R and Maze.Latent growth modeling was used to both estimate growth rates and examine theextent to which demographic variables affected the estimated growth rates. Resultsindicate a signiÞcant CBM-R slope bias on special education status at Grade 3 andon gender at Grade 7. For Maze, slope bias on gender was associated with Mazeslope estimates at Grades 5 and 7. Slope bias on various demographic variables was notconsistent across CBM measures and grades. Results and implications are discussed.Keywords:
