PHONEMIC AWARENESS AND RAPID NAMING
TOPA‑2+: Test of Phonological Awareness–Second Edition: PLUS Joseph K. Torgesen • Brian R. Bryant AGES: 5 through 8 years TESTING TIME: Kindergarten—30 to 45 minutes;
Early Elementary—15 to 30 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Group or individual
The TOPA‑2+, a revision of the popular Test of Phonological Awareness , is a group- administered, norm-referenced measure of phonological awareness for children ages 5 through 8 years. The scale, which can also be administered individually, has demonstrated reliability, and the test yields valid results that are reported in terms of percentile ranks and a variety of standard scores (e.g., scale scores, normal curve equivalents) that can be selected based on the preference of the examiner and the purpose for which the results are to be used (e.g., identification; reports to local, state, or federal agencies). The TOPA‑2+ has two versions, a Kindergarten version and an Early Elementary version, that measure young children’s ability to (a) isolate individual phonemes in spoken words and (b) understand the relationships between letters and phonemes in English. The latter skill was not assessed by the original TOPA and is the reason the PLUS was added to the title. The TOPA‑2+ was normed on 2,085 students from 26 states: 1,035 for the Kindergarten version and 1,050 for the Early Elementary version. The sample is representative of the United States across several key demographic variables (i.e., geographic region, gender, race, ethnicity, family income, and educational attainment of parents). The TOPA‑2+ manual provides evidence of internal consistency reliability, test–retest reliability, and interscorer reliability, all of which meet or exceed .80 across all ages. Evidence is also provided for content-description validity, criterion-prediction validity, and construct- identification validity. The manual also provides evidence that the TOPA‑2+ subtests are nonbiased in regard to gender, race, and ethnicity.
