Peer reviewedSilberberg, Norman; And Others – The Elementary School Journal, 1968
A study was conducted to determine which subtests of the Gates Reading Readiness Tests have greatest predictive efficiency. An experiment to assess the effect of training in reading readiness on 222 kindergarten children (107 girls and 115 boys) provided the data for the research. The experimental group received 2 months' reading readiness…

Tests indicated that kindergarten children with impulsive conceptual tempos performed significantly lower on several measures of achievement and reasoning ability than did children with reflective tempos. (Editor)

Examined the reliability and validity of the Individual Reading Readiness Inventory (IRRI) and determined that it could be used with confidence as a measure to predict the extent to which children would profit from formal reading instruction in kindergarten. (Author/RWB)

Download full textBaker, Eva L. – 1968
The following criticism of current practices for determining reading readiness are discussed: (1) the variables measured by readiness tests are in many cases unrelated to instruction, (2) while the variables measured are correlated with reading achievement, this association does not attribute causality, and (3) the criterion selected for measuring…

Medina-Spyropoulos, E. – 1975
Findings concerning the relationship of perceptual-motor and oral-language organization to later reading achievement are discussed in relation to a predictive battery of 15 tests. It was concluded that the predictive efficacy of the tests depends on the degree to which they measure integrative ability rather than on the specific skills measured.…

Silberberg, Norman E.; And Others – 1968
This research was done to determine whether formal kindergarten training in alphabet and number names would result in a higher reading level for children at the end of grade 1. As part of an earlier research project, two classes of primarily middle-class kindergarten children received 8 weeks of training in alphabet and number names. Two control…

Leary, Patricia; Magoon, A. Jon – 1978
A functional prediction scheme was sought for use in kindergarten which would have good predictive power for future reading achievement and be easy and quick to administer and score, inexpensive, and conducive to classroom use. A group of 21 kindergarten children was tested for reading readiness, intelligence, and psycholinguistic ability. Their…

McAninch, Myrene – 1969
The relationship between reading ability and recognition of four kinds of perceptual stimuli for purposes of reading disability diagnosis was investigated. The sample consisted of 84 male grade-3 pupils who were matched on intellectual ability but who differed in reading proficiency. Three groups, based on a 6-month discrepancy either above or…

Johnson, Clifford I. – 1969
To predict success in reading achievement, 148 first graders from three schools representing a cross section of the economic structure of a southeastern U.S. community were administered, in September, the following tests: the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception, the Gates Reading Readiness Test, the Metropolitan Readiness Test, and the…
