Abstract
The present study aimed to review the nature, development contexts, and applications of curriculum-based measurement as an efficient method for assessing reading skill. The research method was an integrative literature review consisting of four stages. Of the 817 documents, 43 were ultimately included in the study and their text was critically analyzed. The PRISMA protocol was used to manage the documents. The results showed that curriculum-based measurement is a valid method for assessing students' performance in basic academic skills, including reading. Oral reading fluency, maze, and early literacy probes are among the most important reading assessment tools and their prerequisites. This method, which originated in the evidence-based movement, has today become a vital element in the provision of multi-tired services. Its most important applications include the production of a reliable database, early intervention, screening, monitoring progress, and development and evaluation of intervention programs. In the following, this procedure and its application in reading were discussed with a critical approach and the possibility of its development in Iran's educational system was subjected to comparative study. Given increasing expansion of this approach in educational systems around the world, the results of this research can pave the way for its production and development in Persian and lead Iranian schools to data-based decision-making in line with global developments.
