Subject: Re: phonological awareness measures

Can you use something from one of the other Scandinavian languages?

Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (adapted for Swedish - some  years ago - it's got some phonological awareness, but just missing segments, if I remember correctly). Since this was originally an English-language test, this might help.

http://www.hogrefe.se/sv/Skola/Las--skriv--och-matematikdiagnostik/Individuella-diagnoser/ITPA-3/

There is also a phonological awareness test for Swedish. I know nothing of it other than it's put out by the same people who publish the Swedish version of the ITPA.
MiniDUVAN http://www.hogrefe.se/Skola/Las--skriv--och-matematikdiagnostik/Individuella-diagnoser/Mini-DUVAN/ - includes identification of sounds, segmentation/synthesis, manipulation och representation. Aimed at 4-6 year olds. There's a plain DUVAN for school aged children and adults.

I suspect there must be something for Norwegian as well, but my pan-Scandinavian searching skills are weak.

I'm wondering if there are any phonological awareness tests that have been adapted to languages other than the original one, with success in terms of validity. A group of researchers at the University of Southern Denmark has developed a comprehensive test of Danish for children between 3 and 7, and is now norming and validating the measure. Validating the phonological awareness portion of the measure is particularly challenging, as we are not aware of a normed and validated measure of phonological awareness in Danish to use as the criterion variable. One possibility would be to adapt an existing measure to Danish for this purpose, but it would be reassuring to know that the test has been previously adapted for other languages. Alternatively, we would be interested in suggestions of other procedures for validating such a test in the absence of an established criterion variable.
With thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
