  1. Early Grade Reading Screening: Arabic By Sana Tibi, Ph.D. EGRA Workshop Washington, DC March 12th, 2008

  2. Outline • Define the Instrument • Procedure • Domains measured • Results • Recommendations • Safeguards

  3. Domains • Early Reading Screening Instrument(ERSI) (Morris, 1992) • Phonological Awareness (PA) • Oral-Language (Speech production) • Visual-Perceptual (matching visual symbols)

  4. Results • The easiest PA task is sound categorization (first sound in a word) • The most difficult is phoneme segmentation (segment words into sounds) • Significant differences b/wn city & village subjects on ERSI & PA • Robust correlation b/wn total ERSI scores & PA scores • Moderate correlation b/wn the PA & Naming tests, and the PA & Speech production tests

  5. Means & St. Deviations for all PA scores

  6. Means & Std. Deviations for PA

  7. Means & St. Deviations for ERSI

  8. Recommendations • Develop a standardized tool • Develop a comprehensive tool • Implement it on different grade levels • Validity & Reliability • Training-Workshops • Develop instructional materials

  9. Safe Guards • Culturally appropriate • Linguistically appropriate • Type of schools (public vs private/L1 & L2) • Training to carry out the tool • It should not be the ONLY tool
