Abstract
Summary: A simple reading test that can be undertaken by disabled readers is described. The test is suitable for use in the optometric clinic, taking less than 2 minutes to administer per passage. Test‐retest scores are acceptably reliable. The test reveals increases in the speed of reading when coloured overlays are used both (1) in children who have made long‐term use of coloured overlays for reading, and (2) in children who will subsequently do so.Keywords
