Testing Reading through Summary: Investigating summary completion tasks for assessing reading comprehension ability (Studies in Language Testing) by Lynda Taylor

This volume explores the use of summary tasks as an effective means of assessing reading comprehension ability. It reports on a series of empirical studies that investigated the development and trialling of text-removed summary completion tasks and discusses the correlation of these tasks with results from independent measures to validate text-removed summary completion as a measure of reading comprehension ability.
