Investigated the concurrent validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) subtests and three IQs compared to Wide Range Achievement Test standard scores, in 28 learning-disabled children. Analysis showed no significant correlations between WISC-R and WRAT scores, indicating a lack of concurrent validity on the WAIS-R. (WAS)

Compared Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) arithmetic and reading performance of randomly selected primary grade children (N=70) in a suburban school district to grade placement in reading and math and text placement in reading. WRAT scores overestimated actual achievement in all grades tested. (Author/NRB)

WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale in Children-Revised) Verbal and Performance scores were correlated with WRAT-R Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised scores. The verbal score was found to predict reading, spelling, and arithmetic. The performance score did not add significantly to the predictions. Results were consistent with earlier studies.…

McBeath, Marcia; Marken, Dan – 1977
Local norms for the three scores of the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT)--reading, spelling, and arithmetic--were developed on the basis of 1,021 children in the age range of 5 through 7 and 83 more children aged 8 through 11 from a suburban school district near Seattle, Washington. In general, the local group was found to be superior to the…

Peer reviewedGrossman, Fred M. – Psychology in the Schools, 1981
The use of regression equations to predict the expected achievement levels of five- and six-year-old children on the Wide Range Achievement Test are discussed. Problems are found in identifying underachievement for children in the lower primary grades. Implications for the early identification of specific learning disabilities are described.…
