Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has been adopted by growing numbers of school districts and states since the publication of this definitive practitioner guide and course text. The second edition presents step-by-step guidelines for using CBM in screening, progress monitoring, and data-based instructional decision making in PreK-12. It describes the materials needed and all aspects of implementation in reading, spelling, writing, math, and secondary content areas. Twenty sets of reproducible CBM administration and scoring guides and other tools are provided; the large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials. New to This Edition: Broader grade range--now has a chapter on secondary content areas. Chapter on early numeracy; expanded content on early reading. Nearly twice as many reproducible tools, including new or revised administration and scoring guides. Key updates on graphing and on using online CBM databases. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas. See also The ABCs of Curriculum-Based Evaluation, by John L. Hosp, Michelle K. Hosp, Kenneth W. Howell, and Randy Allison, which presents an overarching problem-solving model that utilizes CBM.

With over 50 years of research validation, curriculum-based measurement continues to expand across schools and districts due to its proven effectiveness, ease of implementation, and alignment within multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The revised and updated third edition of the gold-standard ABCs of CBM delivers essential guidance as educators increasingly rely on data-driven instruction for universal screening, progress monitoring, and instructional decision making. In a convenient large-size format, the book accessibly covers the "whats," "whys," and "how-tos" of CBM across reading, spelling, writing, and math, with detailed protocols for administration, scoring, and standards within MTSS. New to This Edition: Updated throughout with 10 years of advances in administration, scoring, and reporting. Chapter on preschool CBM for early intervention. Cutting-edge multilingual CBM resources for diverse populations. Social–emotional/behavioral CBM measures. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas. See also the authors' ABCs of Curriculum-Based Evaluation, which also supports MTSS while utilizing CBM.
