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…

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…

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…

Taylor, Nancy E.; Blum, Irene H. – 1981
A battery of four reading readiness assessment tasks was administered to 267 first grade students to determine if the tasks predicted reading achievement as well as the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT). The four tasks, which were the best predictors in a previous study of seven readiness tasks, were the aural word boundaries task, the…

Black, Bob Gene – 1971
This study investigated the predictive value of certain tests in relationship to first grade reading success. The Metropolitan Readiness Test, Naming Letters Test, Light Response Test, and Matching Symbol Test were administered to 70 first grade students during the first two weeks of school. The Teacher's Reading Readiness Rating Scale was filled…

Murray, Beulah B. – 1966
Over 200 children were tested to determine whether, of prospective first grade pupils, the 25% scoring lowest on tests of visual-motor-perceptual development would also be clustered in the lowest third of first grade performance on word recognition skills at the end of the year. Tests given upon entrance were the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test,…
