Abstract
According to the psycho-linguistic criterion, there are two types of reading: oral and silent. Both types can be empirically determined and measured: oral reading as the speed of reading, and silent reading as reading comprehension. For this study both types of reading have been empirically tested with an deflection of 26 years. Both studies utilized the same instrumentation: a one minute exam of oral reading of forms Ia, IIa, IIIa, IVa and reading comprehension of forms TČIa, TČIIa, TČIIIa, TČIVa.
The study was performed in „Ivan Filipović“ elementary school in Velika Kopanica during the school year 1985/85 on a sample of 257 students (the entire student body) and during the school year 2011./12. On a sample of 163 students (the entire student body).
The initial hypothesis of the study was that, during 26 years, an altered or improved school of familial environment had resulted in improvements in the development of reading abilities.
The results obtained in the study did not indicate that the expected improvements in the development of reading abilities had occurred.
