<div>Overall, the Test of Silent Contextual Reading Fluency (TOSCRF) and the Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency (TOSCRF) demonstrated sufficient validity when used to test reading competence in individuals aged 6 to 24. The median average effect size difference (<em>r</em>) between these tests and standardized tests of reading competency were as follows:</div>
<div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong>the TOSCRF:</strong> <em>r =</em> 0.16 (small);</li>
<li><strong>the TOSWRF: </strong><em>r</em> = 0.03 (very small/trivial); and</li>
<li><strong>Combined scores of the TOSCRF and the TOSWRF: </strong><em>r </em>= 0.07 (very small/trivial).</li>
</ul>
<div>Of note, English language learners earned higher average mean scores on these two tests than on other standardized tests of reading, suggesting that results might be confounded by English language proficiency. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of note, this review contains an overall lack of representation of English language learners and individuals with disabilities.</div>
