17  Reliability of ROAR-Phoneme

17.1 Background: Published studies

Gijbels, Burkhardt, and Ma (2024) reported high correlations between ROAR-Phoneme and standardized measures of PA (CTOPP-2, r=.80) for children from Pre-K through fourth grade and exceptional reliability for the ROAR-Phoneme composite score (\(\alpha=0.96\)). Each individual subtest was also highly reliable:

• First Sound Matching (FSM) \(\alpha=0.89\)
• Last Sound Matching (LSM) \(\alpha=0.92\)
• Deletion (DEL) \(\alpha=0.85\)
