Popis:	Summary 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. Largely as a result of approaches from teachers, it was decided to undertake a large‐scale restandardization of the Burt‐Vernon and Schonell tests to produce reliable norms and to standardize administration and scoring procedures. The opportunity was also taken to record the data in such a way as to enable the production of revised orders of words on both tests to reflect contemporary usage, and to relate reading attainment, as assessed by the tests, to three important factors ‐‐ sex, school organization and socioeconomic status.
