  3. Why measure phonological awareness in pre-primary students?

  4. How did we measure it originally? • Repeating words • Rhyming

  5. Person item distribution graph Answers the question: Are the items too hard or too easy for the students we are testing?

  6. Item location graph RepeatingRhyming Answers the question: How difficult are the item sets in relation to each other?

  7. Repeating words • Splitting words • Isolating phonemes How do we measure it now?
