The relationship between the reading scores of children ages 7 to 9 yr. on the Wide Range Achievement Test and the Gilmore Oral Reading Test was investigated. The 50 children (37 males and 13 females) had a mean age of 8.6 yr., and a mean grade placement of 2.98. They obtained a mean grade level reading score of 3.27 on the achievement test and 2.26 on oral reading (accuracy). Although the correlation between the two scores was .87, 47 of the children scored higher on the achievement test. As the difference between the mean scores on the two tests was significant, it appears that the two measures produce neither identical nor interchangeable information
