Abstract
Ample evidence indicates that assessing children’s early literacy skills is crucial for later academic success. This assessment enables the provision of necessary support and materials while engaging them in the culture of print and books before school entry. However, relatively few assessment tools are available to identify early literacy skills, such as concepts of print, print awareness, phonological awareness, word awareness, alphabet knowledge, and early reading. The digital landscape presents new opportunities to enhance these assessments and provide enriching early literacy experiences. This study examines the psychometric properties of an adaptive assessment tool, EuLeApp©, focusing on its reliability and concurrent validity. Data involved 307 German kindergarten children (Mage = 64 months old, range = 45–91). A Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) method, grounded in Item…
