phonological awareness measures

[Lynn Santelmann]

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.

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.
