Reliability of Reading Rate Tests as a Function of Warm-Up Passage and Time Limit.

Chang, Shou Shan; Hanna, Gerald S.

Reading World, v19 n3 p232-38 Mar 1980

Describes a study designed to determine whether one-minute or two-minute tests of reading rates are more reliable and whether warm-up exercises improve the accuracy of rate measures. Indicates that results were inconsistent with theoretical expectations and past research and suggests that no changes in standardized testing practices are currently warranted. (TJ)
