Basically the maze test may test comprehension, but it is only comprehension at the sentence level, not paragraph or passage. For us, it is also an unfortunate measure of a child's home language register. A lot is gained or lost with the "sound right" test. Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

The maze test is suppose to be the comprehension part. It is a cloze activity that has the students choose the correct words from a choice of 3. I don't like the comprehension part because I would like it to be higher level thinking versus simply a cloze activity. But, at least the Maze test is better than nothing for a comprehension test like the DIBELS program. As for the math, there are two tests that I know of - one is a math computation and the other is a problem solving test. We don't use EDM so I'm not sure they correlate. The reports are easy to generate once all the scores have been loaded into the program. Loading the scores in is also very easy.
