| Abstract: | This research aimed to develop a test to assess adult fluent reading skills and examine miscues and reading components in Turkish. The study consisted of two phases. First, Adult Fluent Reading Test development includes identifying subtests, content and face validity. After the main procedure, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses, structural validity analyses and reliability analyses were conducted. Second, age-related scores and miscue types were examined. Phase 1 indicated a single-factor structure for each test. High internal consistency and inter- and intra-rater reliabilities were observed. During Phase 2, the most common miscue patterns included omissions in text reading, repetitions in word reading and substitutions in nonword reading. The findings revealed a positive correlation between age and miscue scores, accompanied by a negative correlation with reading rate. The Adult Fluent Reading Test yielded valid and reliable data, identifying miscue types in text, word and nonword reading, along with fluent reading components. |
