Walter J. Lesiak / Judi Lucas Lesiak
Ages: 4.6 through 6.2 years
Administration: Individual; 20-30 minutes
The DTKR-II provides objective data on a child’s skills and abilities as they relate to successful performance in kindergarten. It is used for both screening and diagnostic-prescriptive purposes.
The results can be used by school personnel to plan remedial instructional programs and/or to make adjustments in the kindergarten curriculum when the child enters school.
Scoring:
Raw scores are converted to standard scores. A composite quotient and factor scores are also available. The DTKR-II is a restandardized, updated version of the DTKR. New to the second edition are scaled scores (mean of 10, standard deviation of 3) for subtests and three factors, and a composite score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
Technical Information:
The DTKR-II was normed on 2,521 prekindergarten children (1,273 males and 1,248 females). Reliability was determined using internal consistency, interrater agreement, and test-retest reliability. Test-retest reliability ranges from .82 to .97. The composite score reliability is .93. Predictive validity data are available in the manual.
The DTKR-II Complete Kit includes:
• Test Manual
• Materials Book (cards)
