(LRS-5) Light's Retention Scale
Fifth Edition
H. Wayne Light
This new edition of the Light’s Retention Scale includes over 300 quality research studies on school grade retention. An analysis of these studies produced 19 categories (factors to consider for possible retention), which include such areas as intelligence, mobility, physique, age, gender, participation of parents, preschool enrollment, student’s motivation, attendance, emotional disorders, conduct patterns, and other areas. The documentation of research found in the LRS demonstrates that this is a Research–based Tool, as is required by the Response to Intervention (RtI) protocol.
