The Rate of Reading Test was designed with spatial and psycholinguistic controls to identify people with visual stress. The study aimed to adapt this test to Portuguese, providing psychometric evidence. In Step 1, the agreement between six independent judges was verified regarding the degree of difficulty of short high-frequency words. In Step 2, the accuracy of the words was verified in 80 readers from the 2nd to the 5th grades of Elementary Education. In Step 3, the judges chose the final words for the test from among those without accuracy errors. There was agreement among the judges in the adaptation to Portuguese, composed of 15 words of high frequency, common nouns, singular, regular, short extension and balanced by gender. In Step 4, the test’s reliability was investigated in 108 students of the 3rd grade, of whom 90 participated in the retest. The Teste de Taxa de Leitura showed satisfactory evidence of content validity and reliability.
