  • No public debate over this assessment
  • Reviewed by Lennon and Slesinski in 2001
  • "overall a theory-based well researched instrument for cognitive -linguistic functioning" (Lennon and Slesinksi, 2001).

Broken into 5 Sub-test scores:

  • Phonological Awareness Composite Score
  • Phonological Memory Composite Score
  • Rapid Symbolic Naming Composite Score
  • Rapid Non-Symbolic Naming Composite Score
  • Alternate Phonological Awareness Composite Score

Main Idea

  • Norm Referenced Test
  • Administration time: 30-40 minutes
  • Ages 4:0 to 24:11
  • Administered individually
  • Scored on paper or using software
  • Used to "identify individuals who may benefit from instructional activities to enhance their phonological skills" (MHS, 2015).

Pro's and Con's

Cons

  • Difficult to test due to one-to-one testing (individual)
  • To identify those students who are significantly below their peers working with phonics
  • To determine the students' strengths and weaknesses in processing sounds
  • To document student's progress in RTI
  • To measure and investigate phonological processing amongst students

Retrieved from MHS, 2015

Pros

  • Valid and Reliable
  • Proven to be theory-based
  • Variety of sub-tests
  • Scoring based on a composite score of all sub-tests
  • PACS: 3 sub-tests combined to assess the student's awareness of the phonological structure of language orally.
  • PMCS: 2 sub-tests combined to assess the student's ability to process information phonologically and store it for short-term memory.
  • RSNCS: 2 sub-test combined to assess the individual's ability to retrieve information from their long-term memory.
  • RNNCS: 2 sub-tests combined to assess children's ability to retrieve information using objects and colors.
  • APACS: an alternative test formed by blending non-words and segmenting non-words and used to measure the student's phonological awareness
