Abstract
A screening test for early measurement of various aspects of reading ability was developed, utilizing findings from a number of previous researchers. The test was administered to two first grade classes ( n = 44), and correlated at significant levels with both teacher estimates and objective measures of reading ability. Findings suggest that a group-screening procedure may be effective in predicting reading disability and may further help identify the child's areas of weakness and so point to appropriate remedial procedures.Keywords
