Abstract
This paper Focuses on the adaptation and analysis of the psychometric properties of a learning potential test, called ''Picture Word Game'' (PWG, Corman & Budoff,1974), which was tested on a sample of 205 Spani sh prereaders. The test examines their capacity for symbolization and addresses reading-specific abilities, particularly those attributing a concept or meaning to a visual arrangement or symbol. The paper aims to confirm the reliability and satisfactory concurrent and predictive validity of this adapted version of the PWG.
