Predicting Reading Problems at Kindergarten for Children in Second Grade: SEARCH as a Screen.

Morrison, Delmont; Mantzicopoulos, Panayota

Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v11 n4 p29-36 Jul-Aug 1990

The predictive validity of SEARCH and of academic achievement tests for identifying children at risk for reading problems was compared, with 668 kindergarten children. The use of various cutoff scores for SEARCH and the application of a 2-factor scoring system resulted in high rates of false negatives and false positives. (Author/JDD)
