Description

In today’s educational culture, children begin formal schooling with the expectation that they are ready to be active literacy and mathematics learners. Because such demands are being made earlier than ever before, it is critical that children who have potential learning problems be identified as soon as possible and be provided with interventions that could increase the likelihood of their acquiring needed foundational skills and experiencing future academic success. Years of research studies have provided substantial evidence of a relationship between early receptive language delays and later academic difficulties, thereby, providing a means of identifying young children exhibiting learning risk factors. The purpose of this non-experimental, exploratory study was to investigate the relationship between the BBCS-3: R, a receptive language measure, and the KABC-II, a cognitive and processing measure, in order to determine whether the BBCS-3: R can be used as a screener to identify children exhibiting potential learning risk factors. Results of Chi-square test analyses found significant relationships between the BBCS-3: R composite scores, the SRC and TC, and each scale of the KABC-II administered at the preschool level. Additional analyses examining relationships between the BBCS-3: R composite scores and the KABC-II global score, the MPI, also found significant relationships between the scores. These preliminary results suggest that the BBCS-3: R has the potential to be used as a screener to identify young children exhibiting risk factors associated with learning disabilities thereby providing school psychologists and other educational professionals with a means of identifying children who would benefit from targeted interventions and early, differentiated instruction.
