This study investigated the use of a story retelling task as a mechanism for screening integrated communicative performance. Comparisons were made between story retelling performance and performance on two standardized screening tools for kindergarten, readiness, and first-grade children. Results suggest that story retelling is a more stringent measure of integrated communicative performance.
