Abstract
A School Readiness Test Battery, comprising the Information and Similarities subtests of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence, selected elements of the Gesell Reading Readiness Test, and the Minkowich Test of Arithmetic Readiness was used to screen a sample of referred candidates for entry into first grade of an Israeli elementary school. The candidates were retested at the end of first grade on a battery of tests of reading and arithmetic skills and achievement. An analysis of intercorrelations among readiness and achievement as well as multiple linear regression analysis indicated that, when a minibattery of the Gesell and Minkowich readiness tests was administered to a referred sample of 77 kindergarten children, superior prediction of school readiness at first grade was obtained.
