A Restandardization of the Burt-Vernon and Schonell Graded Word Reading Tests
Shearer, E.; Apps, Rycharde
Educational Research, 18, 1, 67-73, Nov 75
Although word recognition tests continue to be widely employed by teachers, the application of out-of-date norms and varying methods of administration and scoring seriously reduce the usefulness of these tests. As a result, a restandardization of the Burt-Vernon and Schonell tests was undertaken to produce reliable norms and to standardize administration and scoring procedures. (Author/RK)
