Scoring Procedures:
Administration:
● Untimed but not unlimited time
o Administer in order of General Information, Reading Recognition,
then Reading Comprehension
Scoring:
● Determine starting point based on background information
● Establish Basal item and Ceiling item before determining the Raw Score
o Basal item- lowest item of the highest five consecutive correct
responses.
o Ceiling item- highest item of the lowest seven consecutive responses
containing five errors.
o If examinee responds incorrectly to an item after the starting point
without establishing the Basal item, the examiner must proceed
backward in the items until five consecutive items are answered
correctly
● Raw Score= Ceiling item minus errors between the Basal item
and Ceiling item
● Special circumstances regarding reading recognition and reading
comprehension
Standardization Sample
-The sample contained over 1,000 students
grades K-12, from four regions of the
continental US: West, South, North Central and
East.
- The sample was selected with the same
proportional distribution as the US census
data, based on the dimensions of sex,
socioeconomic status and race or ethnic group.
-Did not include students with special needs or
students from Alaska or Hawaii.
Reliability
Validity
●Content Validity:
o Extensive developmental process for each subtest.
o High reliability scores:
 Kuder-Richardson
 Split-Half

●Construct Validity:
o Correlated scores with the original PIAT and the
Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R)
o Median correlations between PIAT-R and PPVT-R
range from .50 to .72
Considerations
-Examiner must be very familiar with
procedures and scoring protocol
-Basal and ceiling scoring
-Reading comprehension portion?
-Reliable test with proper execution
-Standardization sample over 25 years old
-Special needs students not included
