Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v11 n3 p274-82 Aug 1989

Finds that the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence and the Florida Kindergarten Screening Battery were highly similar as predictors of future reading ability for 59 5-year-old, low income, Mexican-American children. Perceptual performance subtests in both measures correlated better with reading ability than verbal subtests. (SV)
