ABSTRP.CTThe Pre-Reading Skills Battery is a

group-alinisi-erect diagnostic battery measuring skills considered tobe prere:.lisitI to beginning reading instruction. Three major areasof skills ar included: language, visual perception, and auditoryperception. Within each of these three areas several skills aretested through two or three sub-tests. In some sub-areas there aretwo or three sub-tests for a particular skill covering a range ofdifficulty. The battery is so constructed that all the thirteen testsneed not be given to determine a child's skills in each of the threeareas. The tests in the pilot edition are: (1) meaning vocabulary,(2) auditory comprehension, visual comprehension, lettersimilarities, letter combination similarities, emory-litters,memory-letter combinations, auditory discrimination, (3) auditoryblending, and auditory sequencing. A pilot edition of the testbattery is included. (Author/TO)

The Pre-Reading Skills Battery

Developed by

The Center for Urban Education

The Pre-Reading Skill:: Battery is a group-administered diagnositc

instrument measuring skills considered to be prerequisite to beginning

reading instruct.Jn. Three major areas of skills arc included: Language;

Visual Perception; and Auditory Perception. Several sub-areas are

tested in each of those skill areas. (See Figure 1 below.) Two or three

subtests are included in each sub-area to provide items covering several

levels of difficulty for that particular skill. Such a procedure should insure

diagnostic placement of a child on a developmental skill level for each of

the skills included in the battery. The tests are so constructed that only

part of the battery needs to be given to determine a child's skills level.

In the language area. three sub -areas are included: Meaning

Vocabulary; Auditory Comprehension; and Visual Comprehension.

The two Meaning Vocabulary tests measure knowledge of common

words, ranging from simple labels for nouns to harder concepts of

position, etc.. The Auditory Comprehension tests require the child

to show comprehension of orally-given sentences and stories by marking

pictures to indicate what he has heard. The Visual Comprehension tests

measure the child's comprehension of pictures given him, ranging from

simple actions to more complex interactions.

In the Visual Perception, area Discrimination and Memory sub-

areas are included. Discrimination subtexts measure skills in differentiat-

ing pictures or letters or letter combination.. In the Memory sub-area,

short-term memory for pictures or letters or letter combinations is

measured.

The Auditory Perception area includes Discrimination, Blending

and Sequencing. The Discrimination subtexts measure skills ranging

from differentiating orally-given nouns to matching pictures with the same

beginning consonant sound. The Blending subtest requires the child to

find a picture corresponding to a word orally given in unblended form.

The Sequencing test requires the child to find a picture sequence correspond-

ing to an orally-given sequence of objects, indicating his visual-auditory

integration skills.
