Description
Summary:During 1970 and 1971, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) conducted its first assessment of reading, measuring the achievement of specific reading objectives by individuals aged 9, 13, 17, and 26-35. In 1974, the Right to Read Effort directed that a Mini-Assessment of Functional Literacy (MAFL) be conducted to determine basic functional reading abilities of selected 17 year olds still in school. This document is a compilation of the results of the first NAEP reading assessment and the change-in-achievement results for the MAFL in-school assessment of 17 year olds. Background information and results for both tests are discussed, with tables of findings illustrating the text. (JM) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Overview)
