BENCHMARK GOALS FOR THIS MEASURE HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED.
Preliminary evidence indicates that children's retell scores should typically be about 50% of their oral reading fluency score (FLO), and that it is unusual for children reading more than 40 words per minute to have a retell score 25% or less than their oral reading fluency score. A retell score of less than 25% of the oral reading fluency score may indicate a problem with comprehension. |
