Abstract
The present study aims to validate the reading test ABCDeti in Colombian schoolchildren. Two-hundred sixty-five children, aged 5 to 8 years old, between the grades of transition and second grade, all residents of Cali (Colombia), were assessed with two reading tests, ABCDeti and the dimensions of Habilidades metalinguisticas and Lectu-ra from the neuropsyhological battery Eva-luacion Neuropsicologica Infantil. Results showed that ABCDeti has an internal consistency, calculated for each school grade, ranged between .68 and .74. On the other hand, convergent validity was a = .68 to .79.on each school grade. Factor analysis, performed by school grade, explained between 45% y 54% of the data variance. Briefly, the results of the present study suggest that ABCDeti is a valid test to assess initial reading skills in Colombian schoolchildren.
