Validated Forms of Progress Monitoring in Reading and Mathematics

Validated forms of progress monitoring have been developed over a span of years. One of these forms, curriculum-based measurement (CBM), is discussed in this article, where we also present some background on CBM-based progress-monitoring measures in Reading in the elementary grades and in Mathematics.
