Testing Reading Through Summary: Investigating Summary Completion Tasks for Assessing Reading Comprehension Ability - Paperback

by Lynda Taylor (Editor)

This volume explores the use of summary tasks as an effective means of assessing reading comprehension ability. It reports on a series of empirical studies that investigated the development and trialling of text-removed summary completion tasks and discusses the correlation of these tasks with results from independent measures to validate text-removed summary completion as a measure of reading comprehension ability.
