Abstract | A study focused on the first phase of a longitudinal program of research designed to investigate the feasibility of constructing reading tests closely articulated with specific reading curricula and consistent with the current scientific understanding of reading processes. Participants, 298 beginning third-grade students, took two types of tests developed to investigate the importance of four factors that could influence student test performance: (1) the match between test words and words in the students' instructional program; (2) the emphasis of the students' instructional program; (3) the frequency of occurrence of each word; and (4) the decodability of each word. The tests were developed, first to investigate the importance of these factors in determining the validity of measures of decoding speed and accuracy, and next to investigate the importance of these factors on measures of speed and accuracy of recognizing word meaning. Words for both tests were presented to students using a specially prepared personal computer program. The results indicated a strong relationship between word frequency and the difficulty of the word, both for the decoding speed and accuracy test and the test of word recognition. (Eight tables of data are included; 27 references are attached; and six appendixes present data of Decoding Speed and Accuracy and Word Recognition Tests, the test administration computer program, and instructions to test administrators and students.
