Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the reading skills of Moroccan high school and university students using the Alouette test, a widely used tool for measuring reading fluency and accuracy. The primary objective is to compare the performances of these two groups and highlight any delays relative to the established norms for their age. For this study, 160 participants were tested: 80 high school students and 80 university students. All participants were native Moroccan speakers who began learning French from the third year of primary school. The Alouette test, which involves reading aloud a 265-word text in three minutes, was used to measure the number of words read, the number of errors made, and reading speed. Errors and reading performance were recorded and analyzed quantitatively. The differences between the two levels are statistically significant, indicating that university students have better reading skills. However, the performances of both groups remain below the expected norms for their age, with an average delay of -78 months for high school students and -69 months for university students. These results highlight significant gaps in reading skills among Moroccan learners despite ongoing educational reforms.
