Subtests and Rhyme Awareness — Student must identify non-rhyming word from a set
skills assessed of four words

Syllable Segmentation — Student must repeat words, inserting a clear

pause between each syllable (words are 2-5 syllables).

Alliteration Awareness — Student must identify the word that does not
begin with the same sound (phoneme) as other words in the same set.

Sound Isolation — Student must identify the first sound (phoneme) in a

word.

Sound Segmentation — Student must repeat words, inserting a clear

pause between each sound (phoneme).

that corresponds to each letter.

Score reporting Raw scores can be converted into percentile ranges which can then be used
and test design data to categorize the student's achievement at Emerging/Below Basic, Basic, or
Proficient range of development. Norms were based on representative
sample (450) of the U.S. population of children aged 4 -6 years old.
Reliability for each subtest and age were in the .80 range. Validity was
 assessed using the kindergarten and first grade versions of the Early
Reading Diagnostic Assessment, Second Edition.

Notes The PIPA is an adaptation of the United Kingdom edition of the Preschool
and Primary Inventory of Phonological Awareness (PIPA).

The Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales-Second Edition (PKBS-2) is a behavior rating scale
designed for use with children ages 3 through 6 years. This unique behavior rating scale is easy to use,
very practical, and based on a solid foundation of research. With 76 items on two separate scales, it
provides an integrated and functional appraisal of the social skills and problem behaviors of young
children. The scales can be completed by a variety of behavioral informants, such as parents, teachers,
and other caregivers.

Separate score conversion tables are available for home-based and school-based raters. Completion of
the rating form takes about 12 minutes. The Social Skills scale includes 34 items on 3 subscales: Social
Cooperation, Social Interaction, and Social Independence. The Problem Behavior scale includes 42 items
on 2 subscales: Externalizing Problems and Internalizing Problems. In addition, 5 supplementary problem
behavior subscales are available for optional use.

The PKBS-2 was standardized with a nationwide sample of ratings of 3,317 children ages 3 through 6.
Ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and special education classification of the standardization sample are
very similar to those characteristics of the U.S. population, based on the 2000 census. Internal
consistency reliability ranges from .96 to .97 for the two scale totals and from .81 to .95 for the subscales.
A wide variety of reliability and validity evidence in support of the PKBS-2 is included in the Examiner's
Manual.

Merrell, Kenneth W.
The Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS) is a behavioral rating instrument for use in
evaluating social skills and problem behavior patterns of preschool- and kindergarten-aged children,
aged three through six. It is a norm-referenced, standardized instrument developed specifically for use
in assessing young children in a variety of settings and by a variety of behavioral informants. The
PKBS includes two major scales: social skills and problem behavior. In addition to an overview of the
test, this manual contains chapters related to administering, scoring, and interpreting and PKBS; the
technical properties, including reliability and validity, of the instrument; linking the assessment
process to behavioral interventions; and information on its development and standardization.

PES

https://www.silvereye.com.au/prod3018-Preschool-Evaluation-Scale-Complete-Kit

The Pre-school Evaluation Scale-Second Edition (PES-2) was developed to provide

educators, diagnosticians, paediatricians, and psychologists with a measure of child
development from 0 through 72 months of age. The PES-2 may be used to contribute to the
early identification of students with developmental delays for the purpose of implementing
an intervention plan for remediation. The PES-2 is based on the most commonly recognised
domains of child development identified in the federal definition of developmental delays
(PL 99-457). Each sub scale is associated with one of the developmental domains: Large
Muscle Skills, Small Muscle Skills, Cognitive Thinking, Expressive Language Skills,
Social/Emotional, and Self-Help Skills.

Internal consistency, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability; item analysis; and content,
criterion-related, diagnostic, and construct validity are documented and reported for the
scale.

The PES-2 is completed by a child-care professional in the child�s home or while other
screening activities are taking place. The PES-2 can be completed without requiring
additional time on the part of screening or diagnostic personnel. For early and efficiently
gained developmental information, the PES-2 is a must for all pre-school screening.
Converting raw scores to standard scores is a clerical activity and involves no more than a
few minutes per sub scale.

Characteristics and Components of the PES-2:

 The PES-2 is based on the federal definition of developmental delays (PL 99-457).
 The PES-2 School Version was standardised on a total of 1,608 children.
 The PES Home Version was standardised on a total of 979 children.
 The PES-2 SV standardisation population included children from 22 states and
represented all geographic regions of the United States.
 The PES-2 HV standardisation population included children from 18 states and
represented all geographic regions of the United States.
 The PES-2 School and Home Versions provides separate norms for male and female
children 0-35 months of age and 36-72 months of age.
 The PES-2: 0-35 Months School and Home Versions can be completed in
approximately 20 minutes and include 94 items easily observed and documented by
educational personnel and parents/guardians.
 The PES-2: 36-72 Months School and Home Versions can be completed in
approximately 20 minutes and include 85 items easily observed and documented by
educational personnel and parents/guardians.
 The PES-2 Quick Score computer program converts raw scores to standard and
percentile scores and makes the scoring of both the School and Home Version rating
forms efficient and convenient.
