About this quiz

The 10 questions are drawn from the developmental milestones most strongly correlated with later reading success in early-childhood literacy research — alphabetic principle, phonemic awareness, narrative comprehension, attention regulation, and pre-writing motor skills.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic.A low score doesn't mean anything is wrong — most 3-year-olds score low and most 5-year-olds score high. It helps you identify where to focus, not whether to worry. Speak to your pediatrician if you have specific concerns.
