Peer reviewedLesiak, Judi – Psychology in the Schools, 1977
Compares effectiveness of the Gates-MacGinitie Readiness Skills Test (G-M) and Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) for predicting reading achievement in grade one and studies whether either test differentially predicts reading in an i.t.a. approach or a t.o. sight approach. G-M was a better predictor than ITPA for both groups.…

Peer reviewedRandel, Mildred A.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1977
Multiple-regression procedures were used to assess effectiveness of the ABC Inventory and the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT) in predicting first- and third-grade reading achievement. MRT performance accounted for 11 percent of the variance in first-grade SRA reading scores. In predicting third-grade reading, the MRT accounted for 26 percent of…

Peer reviewedEaves, Ronald C.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1990
Evaluated ability of Cognitive Levels Test (CLT) to estimate current achievement in mathematics (as measured by KeyMath Revised) and reading (as measured by Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised) among 38 private elementary and secondary school students. Validity coefficients indicated that CLT scores were moderately to highly correlated with…

Peer reviewedJohn, Kirk R. – Psychology in the Schools, 1998
Three standardized measures of short-term memory (STM) were compared to determine their relative efficacy in predicting reading achievement for 36 primary-grade students over a two-year period. A letter sequences test was found to be the most frequently associated with reading performance. A memory-for-sentences task also showed a significant…

Peer reviewedSnider, Vicki E.; Tarver, Sara G. – Psychology in the Schools, 1989
To investigate the relationship between achievement and intelligence quotient (IQ) in the learning-disabled (LD) population, changes in IQ scores of 49 LD students from early elementary grades to high school grades were correlated with variety of achievement scores. Results suggest that underachievement of LD students plays a predominant causal…

Peer reviewedTolfa, Debra; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1985
Evaluated number of format and direction changes across tests and grade levels of major elementary standardized reading achievement tests. Number of format changes varies from one change every 1.2 minutes on Metropolitan Achievement Test Level E1 to one change every 21.3 minutes on P1 level of Stanford Achievement Test. (Author)

Peer reviewedWebster, Raymond E.; Braswell, Louise A. – Psychology in the Schools, 1991
Compared standardized achievement test performance of 62 second graders receiving instruction in 2 different reading curricula (Open Court and Houghton-Mifflin) to determine whether either curriculum generates different quantitative estimates of reading achievement. Found significant Curriculum X Test interaction, suggesting differences among…

Peer reviewedFlynn, Jane M.; Rahbar, Mohammad Hossein – Psychology in the Schools, 1998
Confirms low positive identification rates when kindergarten teachers were asked to predict future reading achievement using a traditional rating scale, while a project-developed, theory-based screening battery correctly identified 81% of poor readers. Suggests that both teacher ratings and screening tests be used to identify the largest number of…

Peer reviewedWestera, Julia; Moore, Dennis W. – Psychology in the Schools, 1995
Presents an experimental evaluation of a trial implementation of reciprocal teaching procedures by high school teachers to address reading comprehension deficits. Forty-six students were exposed to 1 of 3 conditions: 12-16 reciprocal teaching sessions, 6-8 sessions, or no treatment. Significant gains were observed with students in the extended…

Direct linkFiorello, Catherine A.; Hale, James B.; Snyder, Lindsey E. – Psychology in the Schools, 2006
Response to intervention (RTI) must be combined with comprehensive cognitive assessment to identify children with learning disabilities. This article presents the Cognitive Hypothesis Testing (CHT) model for integrating RTI and comprehensive evaluation practices in the identification of children with reading disabilities. The CHT model utilizes a…
