The Kindergarten Readiness Test-2 Larson (KRT-2 LARSON) is an assessment tool developed to measure a child's functioning through various developmental tasks. The revised KRT-2 LARSON is designed to be used by early education teachers and early education providers. Any area of processing difficulty and/or a combination of poor skill performances on the KRT-2 LARSON might indicate difficulties with a child's success in Kindergarten. The developmental skills that are measured in the KRT-2 LARSON are usually considered stepping-stones for success in school and most pre-school children have acquired the skills used in the KRT-2 LARSON by the time they are five. The items on this test are intended as a general screening of where a child performs when compared with other children of this age group. While the primary purpose of the KRT-2 LARSON is to assess a child's readiness for school, at the same time the KRT-2 LARSON can offer the examiner other information about the child, for example to highlight strong and weak skill areas in a child's development, as well as developmental skills a child may need to work on to better succeed when beginning school.

The KRT-2 LARSON was developed to address the needs and concerns expressed by parents, educators and others who requested help in making decisions when a child begins school. The KRT-2 LARSON was developed to provide an accurate and reliable kindergarten readiness screening assessment for use by school staff and other evaluators to assess levels of maturity and development of those children who are typically entering kindergarten classes. The KRT-2 LARSON’s purpose is to provide empirical, evidence-based information in helping to determine if a child is developmentally ready to begin school when compared to same aged peers. The KRT-2 LARSON is designed so that the majority of children will successfully complete most of the measured tasks if their levels of maturity and development are falling within ranges of typical four and five-year old children (4 years 0 months to 5 years 11 months) those who are presumed to be entering beginning school level classes. It is important to note, on the KRT-2 LARSON, children who score within the “Lower Average” "Below Average" ranges should not be discouraged from beginning school. Many times, children who score within the lower ranges are encouraged to start school with additional considerations in programming made to deal with any noted areas of weakness. The KRT-2 LARSON is also sensitive in identifying children who might be referred for further evaluations due to demonstrated difficulties performing the tasks.

The KRT-2 LARSON can be administered in 15 to 20 minutes depending on the maturity level of the child, and can be scored in approximately 5 minutes. The KRT-2 LARSON includes two scoring interpretation options that can be used for different evaluator purposes. Alone, a raw score provides users with a percentage score and interpretive range (e.g. Above Average, Average, Low Average, Below Average) concerning a child’s performance. The revised KRT-2 LARSON is also a norm- referenced instrument so once a raw score is determined, the raw score can be compared to a defined norm group of similarly aged peers so that a child’s score can be converted to derived scores. Two types of derived scores can be obtained for the KRT-2 LARSON: standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15) and percentage ranks. Derived scores can in turn be grouped into interpretive ranges (e.g. Above Average, Average, Low Average, Below Average).
