The degree of temporal stability of the PPVT‐R was examined for Native American, Mexican‐American, and Anglo‐American kindergarten children. In addition, stability was examined for home language groups. The PPVT‐R was administerd to 56 kindergarten children in September and May of the school year. Results indicated that strong temporal stability existed over an eight‐month period for Native American, Mexican‐American, and English‐speaking kindergarten students.
