Results of the administration in 1971 of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, Survey D, Form 1M, to 5,480 fifth grade pupils of Vancouver schools are reported and compared with results obtained with the same test administered in 1968. The test results, which are presented in four tables, indicate that the 1971 students performed slightly better in "Speed and Accuracy" than did the 1968 students, but were still below the publisher's norm; and the 1971 students performed below that of the 1968 students in "Vocabulary,""Comprehension," and "Total Score."
