| Sumario: | Sixty-seven kindergarten children were screened for potential learning disabilities. Test profiles indicated that teachers' observations were useful (80%) in the selection of potential learning problems. The Wide Range Achievement Test and the Evanston Early Identification Scale were found to be reliable instruments for predicting which kindergarten children would not experience success in reading in the first grade. The Bender Gestalt Visual Motor Test was not a reliable instrument for prediction at this level. The Metropolitan Reading Test was an effective predictor only if the total test scores fell below the 30th percentile. |
