Scott, Marcia Strong; Delgado, Christine F. – Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 2006
In this study, kindergarten children's scores on nine cognitive tasks were evaluated as potential predictors of poor achievement in first grade. A set of five tasks successfully identified 83% of children who were poor readers in first grade, while just three tasks identified 72% of children who were poor achievers in math in first grade. There…
