Abstract
In this investigation the relationship was explored between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) and the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS). The sample consisted of 61 randomly selected elementary school students. The PPVT-R was correlated positively and significantly with all CTBS tests with the exception of Mathematics Computations. Obtained correlations ranged from .09 to .57. Highest correlations fell within the moderate range (.40 to .60). The levels of obtained correlations were sufficient to recommend the use of the PPVT-R as a screening instrument for identification of pupils with academic problems.Keywords
