Florida Kindergarten Screening Battery.

Abstract

Abstract The Florida Kindergarten Screening Battery (FKSB)1 is a unique new instrument for the early identification of learning disorders. The authors state that it is designed “…to predict the likehood that an individual kindergarten child will manifest learning problems three years later (end of Grade 2)” (Satz&Fletcher, 1982, p. 1). It incorporates a number of unique features of construction, standardization, and validation. For this reason, it seems appropriate to describe briefly the background of research and theory on which the Battery is based before examining the relative merits of the Battery itself.
