notes: label: Description
content: After their widespread use during World War One, experts increasingly used psychological tests as a tool to rank and sort people in contexts including (but not limited to) education and employment. The Lee-Clark Reading Readiness Test was written by J. Murray Lee (Dean, School of Education, State College of Washington) and Willis W. Clark (Director of Research and Guidance, Los Angeles County Schools). The test was published by the California Test Bureau and was copyrighted in 1931 and 1943; this is the 1943 Revision. The booklet is seven pages long and contained three different parts. The first dealt with letter symbols, the second with concepts, and the third with word symbols. The part of the test on letter symbols contained a test on matching and a “cross out” test. The part of the test on concepts contained a test on vocabulary and following instructions. The third and final part contained a test on the identification of letters and words. The first page contained blanks to record the pupil’s score and to note the student’s grade placement equivalent.
