Children Behavior Rating Scale- CBRS which was developed by Bronson, Goodson, Layzer & Love (1990) and validated in 2015 by Rowley (2015) was used to assess children’s behavioral skills. Children’s early academic skills were assessed by using Early Childhood Mathematics Education Content Standards Scale (Taşkın &Temel, 2013) and Phonolojical Awareness Test (Yangın, Erdoğan & Erdoğan, 2008). Results of the study showed that CBRS’s was reliable and valid to assess behavioral skills of Turkish children.

And, interpersonal social skills had a role as a predictor of phonological awareness skills.
