“…Both AIMSweb measures, ORF and maze, have established convincing, direct evidence of technical adequacy as progress-monitoring tools (Gersten, Compton, Connor, Dimino, Santoro, Linan-Thompson, & Tilly, 2009). However, it should be noted that the early reliability and validity studies of AIMSweb maze were conducted at the lower grades, and none included a general population of eighth-grade students, the focus of this study (Shinn & Shinn, 2002a, 2002b) More recently, the test–retest reliability of AIMSweb maze in a middle-grade sample were reported as .86 to .87 for the same passage, and .68 to .78 for different passages in Grade 8. Concurrent (.51–.69) and predictive validity (.51–.73) coefficients obtained from correlating maze scores with scores on norm-referenced measures of reading comprehension were also reported (Tolar et al, 2012).…”
