Munger, Kristen A.; Blachman, Benita A. – Psychology in the Schools, 2013
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity evidence of first-grade Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) scores for predicting third-grade reading comprehension scores. We used the "simple view" of reading as the theoretical foundation for examining the extent to which DIBELS subtest scores predict…

Lakin, Joni M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2012
Verbal and quantitative reasoning tests provide valuable information about cognitive abilities that are important to academic success. Information about these abilities may be particularly valuable to teachers of students who are English-language learners (ELL), because leveraging reasoning skills to support comprehension is a critical aptitude…

Goffreda, Catherine T.; Diperna, James Clyde; Pedersen, Jason A. – Psychology in the Schools, 2009
Current empirical evidence indicates poor learning trajectories for students with early literacy skill deficits. As such, reliable and valid detection of at-risk students through regular screening and progress monitoring is imperative. This study investigated the predictive validity of scores on the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy…

Concurrent and Predictive Validity of the LET-II for Average Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hoffman, Jeffrey D.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1996
Compares the predictive and concurrent validities of a learning efficiency test with that of another test. Memory factor scores of the learning efficiency test correlated significantly with the other test's scores, with class grades, and with actual grade-level functioning in reading. The learning efficiency test's validity compares favorably to…

The Screening Test of Academic Readiness (STAR) as a Predictor of Third-Grade Achievement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nichta, Lawrence J., Jr.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Evaluated the Screening Test of Academic Readiness (STAR) using a sample of 28 third graders. The third graders' scores on the Peabody Individual Achievement Test were correlated with their total STAR scores from prekindergarten testing. Results showed the STAR is a useful instrument for predicting third grade achievement. (Author/JAC)

Gansle, Kristin A.; Noell, George H.; Vanderheyden, Amanda M.; Slider, Natalie J.; Hoffpauir, Leila D.; Whitmarsh, Ernest L.; Naquin, Gale M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2004
Curriculum-based measures have been validated for use in evaluating reading, mathematics, and writing skills (Marston, 1989). Despite its common use by school psychologists (Wilson & Reschly, 1996), the relationship between the Woodcock Johnson-Revised and curriculum-based measures of writing has not been evaluated. This study investigated the…

Predictive Validity of the WPPSI-R: A Four Year Follow-Up Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kaplan, Charles – Psychology in the Schools, 1996
Obtained intelligence scale scores to predict academic achievement scores on a comprehensive testing program given at the end of grades one, two, and three. Results show that correlations between achievement and verbal IQ are significant at all three grade levels. Findings indicate that verbal abilities are more predictive of academic achievement…
