Der Titelrekognitionstest für das Vorschulalter (TRT-VS)

Erfassung des Lesevolumens von präkonventionellen Leserinnen und Lesern und Zusammenhänge mit Vorläuferfertigkeiten des Lesens

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000186

Zusammenfassung. Studien haben gezeigt, dass bereits im Vorschulalter ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen Lesevolumen und Sprachentwicklung besteht. Eine objektive und ökonomische Methode zur Erfassung des Lesevolumens sind Titelrekognitionstests. Hierbei geben die Teilnehmenden für eine Reihe von Buchtiteln an, ob ihnen diese bekannt sind. Um Ratetendenzen zu minimieren, enthält der Test auch fiktive Buchtitel. Wir beschreiben die Entwicklung des Titelrekognitionstests für das Vorschulalter (TRT-VS) und stellen anhand von 2 Validierungsstudien seine psychometrischen Eigenschaften vor. In Studie 1 untersuchen wir seine Reliabilität sowie Personen- und Itemkennwerte in einer Stichprobe von Kindern und jungen Erwachsenen. Studie 2 analysiert den Zusammenhang zwischen TRT-VS, häuslicher Lernumgebung und Vorläuferfertigkeiten des Lesens in einer Stichprobe von Vorschulkindern und deren Eltern. Die Studien belegen, dass der TRT-VS ein reliables Instrument zur Messung früher Leseerfahrungen ist und eine hohe Konstruktvalidität aufweist.


The Title Recognition Test for Kindergarteners (TRT-VS): Assessment of Preconventional Readers’ Print Exposure and Its Relations to Precursors of Reading

Abstract. Studies have established a positive correlation between print exposure and language development in kindergarten children. Title recognition tests allow for an objective and efficient assessment of print exposure. Participants indicate whether selected book titles are known to them. To minimize guessing, the test also includes distractor items. We report the results of 2 validation studies of the Title Recognition Test for Kindergarteners (TRT-VS), including its psychometric properties. Study 1 investigates its reliability and item parameters in a sample of children and young adults. In Study 2, the TRT-VS showed moderate-to-strong correlations with phonological awareness and vocabulary in a sample of kindergarteners. In comparison, correlations between a home literacy environment questionnaire (HLE) and precursors of reading were substantially lower. The TRT-VS and the HLE were moderately correlated. In a structural equation model, the TRT-VS fully mediated the influence of the HLE on precursors of reading, indicating that the title recognition by children not only measures the quantity of home reading activities, but also their effects on language development. Taken together, the results suggest that the TRT-VS is a reliable and valid measure for the assessment of early reading activities, and the first instance of a title recognition test for preconventional readers that does not suffer from floor effects when completed by kindergarteners.
