Abstract

The Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (NSST), a measure that has been a source of considerable controversy since its publication, has also been one of the most widely used clinical screening tools of syntactic development. As part of the evaluation of a preschool in tervention program, the NSST was administered to approximately 700 pupils at the beginning and end of the program year. The NSST was found to have moderate test-retest reliability (.542 for the recep tive portion and .697 for the expressive portion). It was also found to be moderately accurate in predicting general academic achievement test scores of pupils in kindergarten and first grade.
