Processing Styles, Reading Performance and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children

Ball State University

The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Prescriptive Reading Performance Test, and a modification of the Analytic Reading Inventory were administered to a sample of nonexceptional, elementary-aged children to determine whether performance on the subscales of the K-ABC was associated with decoding and comprehension scores on the reading measures. While the Sequential Scale was found to be related significantly to decoding and even to comprehension of text written in standard form, the Simultaneous Scale showed no relation to any of the reading tasks. These findings suggested that caution must be exercised in presuming that variations in K-ABC performance, especially on the Simultaneous Scale, will predict reading skills in normal readers.
