| Sumario: | This article presents the development of the “Test de Eficacia Ortográfica (TEO)” for the assessment of orthographical level of elementary school students, and aims to contribute to educational practices and diagnosis of a competence strongly impacting writing skills. The psychometric properties of the measure’s items were analyzed based on a sample of 693 participants attending second to sixth grade at four private elementary schools in Montevideo. Test-retest Reliability of the instrument was measured based on 123 of the participants. The study of content validity, item analysis, dimensionality and reliability provides evidence of a unidimensional structure, in line with theoretical framework. In conclusion, our results suggest the appropriateness of the TEO as a valid and reliable single-factor measure for the assessment of orthographical level. |
