SUEHIRO, Adriana Cristina Boulhoça  y  SANTOS, Acácia Aparecida Angeli dos. Convergent validity evidence between instruments for assessment of phonological awareness. Psico (Porto Alegre) [online]. 2015, vol.46, n.4, pp. 442-451. ISSN 1980-8623.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1980-8623.2015.4.20028.

The present study searched for convergent validity evidence between instruments for assessment of phonological awareness. The participants consisted of 221 children, both sexes, with ages ranging from 6 to 12 years (M = 8.53, SD = 1.40) from first to fourth grade elementary public school in São Paulo. The instruments, applied individually, were the Roteiro de Avaliação da Consciência Fonológica (RACF) and the Prova de Consciência Fonológica por Produção Oral (PCFO). A positive and moderate correlation (r = .65) was found between the instruments, indicating that the RACF can be used to assess the same construct. Considering that it is a screening tool may provide a quick assessment and cost-effective to be used in this stage of schooling.

Palabras clave : Validity; psychometric properties; phonological awareness.
