At Whyteleafe John Salako's second goal of pre season put Reading ahead before Royals number nine Martin Butler doubled the advantage just two minutes later.
Having played four pre-season matches the Madejski Stadium side have chalked up four victories. However, Football League side Kidderminster should provide a much tougher test in next Friday's friendly match.
Kevin Dillon, assistant manager, was pleased with the way the team performed during their 1-0 win at Banbury. He told BBC Radio Berkshire: "Fortunately, there are no injuries to report. A lot of the first team players got sixty to seventy minutes today, the academy players came on later in the game and did well.
"During the first half we passed the ball around well but we were frustrated at times. If we play like that we will only ever create one or two chances a match. In the second half I thought we played well.
"I was pleased for Nicky who got our goal today, he was our best player out there. For me he was our best player last year, I'm expecting big things from him next season. Fozzy's put on a bit of muscle over the summer - he's tougher than last year."
