The purpose of this study is to develop standardized reading test to evaluate reading ability of the kindergarten and elementary students. For this purpose, we developed the elements which can show the reading ability, and made two kinds of test sheet for kindergarten students and six kinds of test sheet for elementary students. In developing the elements of the reading ability, we examined the elements which was used from the past and the contents of the 7th korean language curriculum. And we set up its elements with the foundation of literacy, korean language literacy, vocabulary, comprehension, interference, evaluation and appreciation. And we selected the various paragraph of the elements from outside of the textbook by the standard of the grade difficulty . We analyzed validity, reliability, difficulty, discrimination index, dispersion of the test by the foundation of classical test theory and item response theory to make it suitable for standardized test. We upgraded the validity of the question by doing the test of elementary and kindergarten 2787 students who lives at city region. This developed standardized reading test can be used by the graduate students who major in reading education and by the reading teachers who wants to estimate the effects of the reading education or who wants to collect the fundamental data which suit for the student development level.q
