To set-up standardized norms on the development of reading and related skills in French, we have developped a new tool, EVALEC. The data were collected at the end of Grades 1-4 (about 100 children for each level). EVALEC includes four tests focused on written word processing ; both accuracy scores and processing time were recorded. EVALEC also includes tests of phonemic and syllabic awareness, phonological short term memory, and rapid naming. The data would allow researchers and speech therapists to assess the reading and reading related skills of dyslexics as compared to average readers.
