The problem Of this study is to ascertain the reliability and, so far as possible, the function and validity Of certain silent reading tests. These tests, as will be shown later, di er in the performances which are required Of the pupils. They also differ in other respects. Their titles suggest that all of the silent reading tests included in this study are designed to measure silent reading ability. The fact that they differ widely in certain respects suggests the possibility that no two Of them measure the same type Of read ing ability, or at least that they do this with different degrees Of validity. The study has been restricted to tests which yield some measure Of the rate Of reading as well as a measure Of comprehen sion in order that the measurement Of both phases Of silent readingactivity might be studied. With one exception, the tests which have been used have duplicate forms. In addition to the Silent reading tests, certain other tests were given to the same pupils, because it was thought that the scores yielded by them might assist in the analysis and interpretation Of the scores yielded by the silent reading tests.
