This research, which involved students from grade one in elementary school to grade three in junior high school (aged 6 to 15), was conducted with the aim of cross-sectionally assessing the state of young students' reading comprehension abilities by using a reading comprehension test that was standardized in the past ("Reading-Test Form A") and comparing results with data at standardized points in time. The test was carried out in the third semesters of the 2007 and 2008 school years, and involved 4,212 elementary school students and 1,732 junior high school students, for a total of 5,944 students. Through comparing the results with past standardized test data, the following points became clear regarding the overall trend and the change in the percentage of students who are behind. (1) Among elementary school students, reading comprehension has not declined. (2) As for junior high school students, there is a possibility that it has declined, especially from grade two. (3) Junior high school students, especially those at mid-level ability, are shifting to low-level ability as they progress to higher grades. The above results show the current state of students' reading comprehension abilities across the nation, and hint at some of the issues our educators face.
