Twenty‐eight third graders were administered the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT) during the middle third of their third‐grade year. Their scores on all subtests of the PIAT were correlated with their Total scores obtained on the Screening Test of Academic Readiness (STAR), which had been administered to them prior to their kindergarten year of school. Results show that the STAR is a useful instrument for predicting third‐grade achievement.
