Overview
The Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing – Second Edition (CTOPP-2; Wagner, Torgesen, Rashotte, & Pearson, 2013) is an individually-administered, norm-referenced measure of phonological processing abilities that are associated with reading development. The tool is helpful in (a) identifying individuals who are significantly below their peers in important phonological abilities; (b) determine strengths and weaknesses in already developed phonological processing processes; (c) document individuals’ progress in phonological processing as a consequence of special intervention programs; and (d) serve as a measurement device in research studies investigating phonological processing. It is used for individuals aged 4 to 24 years, 11 months. Compared to its predecessor, the floor effects have been eliminated and ceilings have been extended. In addition, a new phonological awareness subtest has been added.
