Product Description
The CTOPP-2 allows users to:
- Identify individuals whose phonological abilities are significantly below their peers.
- Determine strengths and weaknesses in phonological processing skills.

- Collect data for phonological processing research.
Features and benefits of the CTOPP-2:
- The age range has been lowered in this edition to include 4-year-olds.
- Floor effects were eliminated by the addition of easier items; ceilings were extended by the addition of more difficult items.
- A new phonological awareness subtest (Phoneme Isolation) and rapid naming tasks for the youngest examinees were added.
Subtests include:
- Elision
- Blending Words
- Sound Matching
- Phoneme Isolation
- Blending Nonwords
- Segmenting Nonwords
- Memory for Digits
- Nonword Repetition
- Rapid Digit Naming
- Rapid Letter Naming
- Rapid Color Naming
- Rapid Object Naming.
Five composite scores are available:
- The Phonological Awareness Composite Score represents the examinee's awareness of and access to the phonological structure of oral language.
- The Phonological Memory Composite Score represents the examinee's ability to code information phonologically for temporary storage in working or short-term memory.
- The Rapid Symbolic Naming Composite Score measures the examinee's ability to include efficient retrieval of phonological information from long-term or permanent memory and execute a sequence of operations quickly and repeatedly.
- The Rapid Non-Symbolic Naming Composite Score measures the examinee's ability to include efficient retrieval of phonological information from long-term or permanent memory and execute a sequence of operations quickly and repeatedly using objects and colours.
- The Alternate Phonological Awareness Composite Score, for examinees ages 7-24 years, measures the examinee's phonological awareness exclusively with nonwords.
Normative scores
The CTOPP-2 yields six types of normative scores; a new Rasch-based developmental score is now available for the non-speeded subtests.
