A total solution for pinpointing and remediating achievement gaps
The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Second Edition (KTEA™-II) Comprehensive Form gives you state-of-the-art error analysis along with detailed prescriptive information for simple remediation planning. The KTEA-II is still easy to administer, score, and interpret. Redesigned and expanded, it covers all IDEA, Reading First, and NCTM achievement areas to ensure a comprehensive, research-based assessment. This outstanding instrument also features alternate forms to help you measure student progress or response to intervention and to adjust instruction based on performance.
Use the KTEA-II Comprehensive Form for in-depth analysis
The Comprehensive Form provides composite scores for Grade 1 students and older in reading, math, written language, and oral language. A Comprehensive Achievement Composite can be computed for all examinees. Six additional subtests assess reading-related skills and give valuable diagnostic information.
The Comprehensive Form provides a wealth of benefits
- Covers all achievement areas mandated by IDEA
- The popular error analysis procedures from the original K-TEA have been enhanced to offer additional in-depth information about a student’s performance
- Expanded age range (4-6 to 25 years) for a thorough assessment of preschoolers to adults
- Alternate forms to measure progress and response to intervention
- Written Expression and Oral Expression subtests use engaging stories or situations
- Enhanced reading subtests to measure skills from readiness through advanced levels
- Useful comparisons between reading and listening, and writing and speaking
- Content coverage in math enhanced with the addition of algebra and early numeracy items
- Conormed with the KABC™-II to give you an in-depth comparison of a student’s abilities and school performance.
KTEA-II scoring gives you more options
For maximum flexibility, the KTEA-II Comprehensive Form lets you select between computer and hand-scoring. With the ASSIST™ computer scoring program, you can quickly convert raw scores to derived scores. This timesaving software contains both Macintosh and Windows programs on one CD-ROM. It also provides:
- A summary of student performance by composite or subtest
- Comparisons of skill areas or subtests for easy interpretation of results
- Achievement/ability comparisons
- Error analysis for all standard subtests
- Best practices instructional suggestions for designing IEP goals that match students’ score information with remediation strategies
- Lists of math problems or reading or spelling words similar to those that were difficult for the student
Use the KTEA-II Brief Form for a quick measure of achievement
Indispensable for school and clinical psychologists, special education teachers, and others, this short measure of achievement is ideal for screening and pre-referral. It features an expanded age range of 4-6 to 90 and yields norm-referenced subtest scores and a battery composite. And because there is no content overlap with KTEA-II Comprehensive Form, it can be used for retesting.
The KTEA-II Brief Form includes three subtests:
- Reading—word recognition and reading comprehension
- Math—computation and application problems
- Written Expression—written language and spelling
Conormed with KBIT-2
When you need a brief ability test, choose the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, Second Edition (KBIT-2). It is conormed with KTEA-II Brief for ages 26 through 90.
