Pre-Reading Inventory of Phonological Awareness (PIPA)

Raw scores can be converted into percentile ranges which can then be used to categorize the student’s achievement at Emerging/Below Basic, Basic, or Proficient range of development. Norms were based on representative sample (450) of the U.S. population of children aged 4 -6 years old. Reliability for each subtest and age were in the .80 range. Validity was assessed using the kindergarten and first grade versions of the Early Reading Diagnostic Assessment, Second Edition. The PIPA is an adaptation of the United Kingdom edition of the Preschool and Primary Inventory of Phonological Awareness (PIPA).
