Abstract

Measuring and identifying risk for reading difficulties at the kindergarten level is necessary for providing intervention as early as possible. The purpose of this study was to examine concurrent validity evidence of two kindergarten reading screeners, Acadience Reading and Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI), as well as diagnostic accuracy at different performance levels on the Woodcock-Johnson IV (WJ IV) Reading Cluster and across (N = 96) emergent bilingual and monolingual English learners in kindergarten. Findings indicated moderate correlations between Acadience Reading and TPRI with the WJ IV. Diagnostic accuracy results showed screening measures were inadequate when predicting WJ IV performance above 90 SS (standard score), but results improved for almost all measures and student groups when the threshold for performance was lowered to 80 SS. Acadience Reading Below Benchmark (AR BB) offered the lowest overall accuracy for emerging bilingual (EB) students. Implications for efficient and accurate use of reading screeners in schools are discussed.

幼儿园阅读筛选器的比较:德州小学阅读量表与英语学习者与单语英语使用者的学术阅读

在幼儿园阶段测量和识别阅读困难的风险对于尽早提供干预是必要的。本研究的目的是检验两种幼儿园阅读筛选器——学术阅读和德州初级阅读量表(TPRI)的并发效度证据，以及在Woodcock-Johnson IV (WJ IV)阅读聚类和(N = 96)幼儿园新兴双语和单语英语学习者不同表现水平上的诊断准确性。研究结果表明，学术阅读和TPRI与WJ IV之间存在中度相关性。诊断准确性结果显示，在预测WJ IV成绩高于90分(标准分数)时，筛选措施是不充分的，但当表现阈值降低到80分时，几乎所有措施和学生群体的结果都有所改善。学术阅读低于基准(AR BB)为新兴双语(EB)学生提供了最低的总体准确性。讨论了在学校中有效和准确地使用阅读筛选器的意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
