Participants were 23 teachers (4 male) and 89 students (51 boys) with reading problems. Teachers filled in a questionnaire to measure their teaching efficacy and were interviewed about the amount of reading activities in their classrooms. Students made Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) probes of maze tasks and reading aloud at the beginning and end of the study to measure reading progress. A mediation model with regression analyses was used to answer the research questions. The results reveal no relations between teacher efficacy, amount of reading activities and students’ reading progress. This study shows that more research is needed to use CBM in Dutch education systems.Show less
