A study investigated the effectiveness of teaching children how to take reading comprehension tests. Twenty-eight fifth grade students were pretested using the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, Survey D, Form I. The students were tested on speed and accuracy, vocabulary, and comprehension. Students were given 30 minutes of daily instruction and practice in test-taking techniques using the "Scoring High in Reading" series, and the "McCall-Crabbs Standard Test Lessons in Reading." At the end of four months the subjects were posttested, again with the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test. The results showed a mean gain of 4.08, supporting the hypothesis that test wiseness will increase children's reading scores. (HTH)
