摘要
This study's purpose is to present data regarding the reliability and validity of the Word Recognition Test (WRT) for students of the first 4 years of schooling. The test consists of 40 regular words of 2 and 3 syllables. Two studies were performed. The first included 328 students, and the second one 3,131 students. The coefficients of internal consistency were high in the whole 4 years (ranging between .96 and .98). The difference on performance average was statistically significant between years, with moderate magnitude effect. No statistically significant differences were found between sexes. Correlations with external criteria were positive and statistically significant. Results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) are not conclusive, pointing to the need of further studies.
