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.
