The California Achievement Test as a Predictor of Reading Ability Across Race and Sex Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The predictive validity of the California Achievement Test, Reading (CAT-R) was examined for 480 Hispanic and Anglo pupils in Grades 2 and 3. The slopes, intercepts and standard error of estimates were compared for each group. The validity of the CAT-R as a predictor of reading for combined groups of Hispanic and Anglo pupils appeared to be limited. Overprediction of Hispanic reading ability and underprediction of Anglo reading ability would be expected when a single prediction equation is used for both groups.
