| Abstract | The Young Children's Achievement Test (YCAT; Hresko, Peak, Herron, & Bridges, 2000) is an individually administered achievement test designed to evaluate preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade children for risk of school failure. The test is comprised of five subtests specifically intended to assess general information, reading, mathematics, writing, and spoken language. The YCAT was developed to be used with children ranging from 4 years 0 months to 7 years 11 months old. The authors stress the importance of early identification for preventing academic problems, noting that early academic ability is the best predictor of later academic ability. Furthermore, they believe that results from the YCAT can be used in developing and monitoring educational interventions. This article provides a description of YCAT, a discussion of its technical adequacy, and an evaluation of its reliability and validity. (ERIC). |
