I think I will be the lone nay sayer about DOA. I gave it to my son the spring before kindergarten. He scored very high in most areas. As in maxed out oral vocab and word recognition. I was all excited that he would pass the exam for early entrance to first grade. This test said he was overall at a fourth grade reading level. Needless to say, he was at the 79th percentile of those kids leaving kinder/entering first grade. He was not early entranced to first grade.
