Kindergarten Screenings in New York State: Tests, Purposes, and Recommendations.

May, Deborah C.; Kundert, Deborah K.

Psychology in the Schools, v29 n1 p35-41 Jan 1992

Surveyed 260 school districts about kindergarten screening tests. Found tremendous variability in responses: 34 different tests were used in screening; main purposes of screening were to identify handicapped and gifted students, group students in kindergarten classes, make school readiness placements, and plan and individualize instruction. Recommendations included referrals for further evaluation and multiple levels of placement decisions. (Author/NB)
