Abstract

Purpose: The study presents the process of developing of an instrument for collective evaluation of reading fluency and comprehension of secondary elementary school students in grades 6-9 and verifies the effect of schooling on performance in the instrument.

Methods: 100 students regularly enrolled in grades 6-9 in secondary elementary public schools participated in the study. The construction of the instrument involved seven steps, with the participation of two judges. The instrument was composed of narrative text appropriate for secondary elementary school students and for 10 multiple choice questions, which five were literal questions and five were inferential questions.

Results: The results showed a better performance for the participants with higher schooling in fluency and in reading comprehension. The reading fluency presented positive and moderate correlations with the reading comprehension.

Conclusion: The instrument is easy to apply and analyze, and can be used in clinical, educational and research context to measure the performance of students in grades 6-9 in fluency and reading comprehension.

Objetivo: O estudo apresenta o processo de desenvolvimento de um instrumento para avaliação coletiva da fluência e da compreensão de leitura de escolares do ensino fundamental II e verifica o efeito da escolaridade no desempenho no instrumento.

Método: Participaram do estudo 100 escolares regularmente matriculados do 6º ao 9º ano no ensino fundamental de escolas públicas. A construção do instrumento envolveu sete etapas, com participação de duas juízas. O instrumento é composto por um texto narrativo apropriado para escolares do ensino fundamental II e por 10 questões de múltipla escolha, sendo cinco questões literais e cinco inferenciais.

Resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram melhor desempenho, tanto em fluência quanto em compreensão de leitura, para os participantes com maior escolaridade. A fluência de leitura apresentou correlações positivas e moderadas com a compreensão leitora.
