The research team will refine and validate a reading comprehension assessment originally designed for third- to fifth-grade readers for use with postsecondary students. The refined assessment, MOCCA-College (MOCCA-C) will be a practical, reliable, and valid measure of reading comprehension processes that can help postsecondary practitioners, administrators, and researchers diagnose students reading comprehension difficulties.
