Value-added assessments have become a reasonable and accepted assessment method for education and teaching. Mathematics reading ability is an important ability in mathematics learning which provides a prerequisite for solving mathematical problems. With the aim of uncovering the effects of mathematics reading ability on the continuous development of mathematics learning, this study focuses on the value added to students' mathematics reading ability as well as their mathematics performance. From a longitudinal perspective, we collected academic achievement data for 463 s-grade students, including their scores on their mathematics reading ability, which were then used a developed measurement tool. Building on Weiss's "Theory of Change", the students were divided into four categories: high academic achievement and high value-added, low academic achievement and high value-added, low academic achievement and low value-added, and high academic achievement and low value-added. Finally, we discussed the impact of the students' reading abilities in mathematics on their overall achievement. This study reveals a close correlation between mathematics reading skills and value-added performance. Higher scores in mathematics reading indicate higher value-added levels. For students with initially high scores, their mathematics reading skills greatly contributed to their high value-added performance.
增值评估已成为教育教学中一种合理且被广泛接受的评估方法。数学阅读能力是数学学习中的一项重要能力，为解决数学问题提供了前提条件。本研究旨在揭示数学阅读能力对数学学习持续发展的影响，重点关注学生数学阅读能力及其数学成绩的增值情况。从纵向角度，我们收集了463名六年级学生的学业成绩数据，包括他们的数学阅读能力得分，并使用一种开发的测量工具进行分析。基于韦斯的“变革理论”，学生被分为四类：高学业成绩且高增值、低学业成绩且高增值、低学业成绩且低增值、高学业成绩且低增值。最后，我们探讨了学生数学阅读能力对其总体成绩的影响。本研究揭示了数学阅读技能与增值表现之间的密切关联。数学阅读得分越高，增值水平越高。对于初始分数较高的学生，他们的数学阅读技能对其高增值表现有很大贡献。
