Abstract
Touch-screen tablets are used in the classroom for assessment. Little is known about the psychometric properties of tablet-based assessments. This study examined the validity and reliability of an expressive and receptive assessment app designed to measure literacy skills. Children (N = 45; 3–5 years) completed the app assessments for alphabet and word skills using a tablet. Children (n = 15) were posttested 1 to 2 weeks later to check test score stability. The tablet measures showed good internal consistency (all α > .90) and test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] range = .87 to .98). Agreement between scores for the tablet- and paper-based tests was also high (ICC range = .91 to .98). This indicates that expressive and receptive tablet tests provide valid and reliable measures.
