Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study examined about the word familiarity and Kanji orthographic complexity effects by reading and writing Kanji test in Japanese primary school children. A purpose of this study is to develop the assessment tools to understand the cognitive characteristics of the children with the difficulty of reading and writing Kanji and to choose more effective instructional methods for individuals. From findings, the following things were pointed out. All children are affected by the word familiarity and orthographic complexity in kanji, but the children with the difficulties of reading and writing Kanji tend to depend on the word familiarity and orthographic complexity more. There were individual differences about the word familiarity and Kanji orthographic complexity effects. It is useful to consider about the difference of the word familiarity and Kanji orthographic complexity effects to choose more effective instructional methods for individuals.
