Predicting First-Grade Students' Writing Achievement Using the Canadian Readiness Test and Selected Measures of Cognitive Development.

Ollila, Lloyd O.; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v80 n1 p47-52 Sep-Oct 1986

A study examined the value of two different sets of variables as predictors of first-grade writing achievement. A set consisting of six variables measuring cognitive development was found not to predict writing achievement, while another set consisting of seven subtests of the Canadian Readiness Test was found to be a significant predictor.
