Short Italian Wilkins Rate of Reading Test for repeated-measures designs in optometry and neuropsychology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The recently published New Italian version of the Wilkins Rate of Reading Test (standard Italian WRRT) was designed to measure reading speed in repeated-measures designs in research and/or clinical examinations.
