The goal of the experiment was to examine the relevance of a new French web-based assessment, Tinfolec (Test INFOrmatisé d’évaluation de la LECture), the aim of which is to evaluate the reading abilities of children in primary grades. The participants were 1,016 children from Grades 2 to 5. They completed the five tasks of Tinfolec designed to assess the efficiency of the two procedures used to identify written words (the nonlexical route and the lexical orthographic route). We tested the reliability and validity of the new tool in a subsection of this sample. Correlational analyses provided evidence of the reliability and validity of Tinfolec. The results are consistent with the conventionally observed effect of lexical factors (length, consistency, and frequency) on written word processing. The results confirm the relevance of the proposed tasks. The study produced promising results and would allow practitioners to perform online assessments of reading skills.

Tinfolec：一种基于法语的新的基于网络的小学阅读评估测试

该实验的目的是检验新的法国基于网络的测验Tinfolec（TestINFOrmatiséd'évaluationde la LECture）的相关性，其目的是评估小学儿童的阅读能力。参与者是来自2至5年级的1,016名儿童。他们完成了Tinfolec的五个任务，该任务旨在评估用于识别书面单词的两种程序（非词汇路径和词汇正字法）的效率。我们在本示例的一个小节中测试了新工具的可靠性和有效性。相关分析为Tinfolec的可靠性和有效性提供了证据。结果与传统上观察到的词汇因素（长度，一致性和频率）对书面文字处理的影响是一致的。结果证实了拟议任务的相关性。
