Predictive Validity of Readiness Tests for Middle and Lower Socioeconomic Status Anglo, Black, and Mexican American Children.

Oakland, Thomas

Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p574-82 Aug 1978

The predictive validity of six tests of academic readiness were determined for Anglo, Black, and Mexican American first-grade children from middle and lower socioeconomic status (SES) homes. The tests were most valid for Anglos; least for Blacks; and more valid for middle than for lower SES children. (Author/GDC)
