This includes an initial testing of tasks on a small sample of children (N=20), based on which the tasks were revised into the analyzed test design. The research conducted on a sample of children meeting the defined parameters (N=78) addresses three research objectives. The first objective is to examine the psychometrics properties of the proposed instrument, describe typical performance, and assess the sensitivity of the tests for the proposed use. The second objective involves proposing score thresholds for identifying children at risk of impaired literacy skills development. The third objective is to provide recommendations for modifying subtests and formulate basic guidelines for further development of the test battery. The results are based on descriptive statistics, frequency and item analysis and internal...
