  6. Taking the Test • Response Mode: Verbal • As the client is reading the story, the examiner marks the errors in the Examiner Record Book in the space marked Deviations from Print. • The time it takes the individual to read the story is marked under the space labeled time. • After the story, the client is asked comprehension questions. Each correct response receives 1 point, each incorrect receives zero points. The points are tallied and written in the Comprehension Score Box.

  7. Scoring the Test • The test is scored in 5 main areas: Rate, Accuracy, Fluency, Comprehension, and Oral Reading Index. The Rate score is simply the amount of time the student takes to read the story out loud. The Accuracy score is the number of incorrect pronunciations (Deviations from Print) subtracted by the number of correct pronunciations. The Fluency score is the sum of the Rate score and the Accuracy score. The Comprehension score is the number of questions about the story that the student has a correct response. The Oral Reading Index is a combination of the Fluency and Comprehension scores once they have been scaled
