The <Peabody Individual Achievement Test> is an individually administered achievement battery. In the reading-comprehension comparison, participants read text and selected a corresponding picture, giving a response format different from oral retelling or answering open questions. The example illustrates why tests sharing the name <reading comprehension> can depend differently on <word decoding> and <linguistic comprehension>. Findings about one subtest or edition should not be generalized to the whole battery without checking its content. <Reading Comprehension Tests Vary in the Skills They Assess: Differential Dependence on Decoding and Oral Comprehension by Janice M.
