CTOPP-2 Administration, Scoring, and Basic Interpretation Live Webinar Half Day with CE: September 17
A103000459001
Qualification Level
Thursday, September 17, 2026
9:00 am – 12:45 pm ET
This half day session provides an overview of the CTOPP 2, an assessment of phonological processing for individuals ages 4–24:11. Participants will review the core constructs and their role in reading development. The session covers standardized administration and scoring, includes practice with selected subtests, and addresses interpretation of score patterns including strengths, weaknesses, and the double deficit profile. Guidance is provided on appropriate use of scores, SEM, descriptive classifications, and ethical considerations.
A training consultant will contact you one week before the session date with the Zoom link for registration.
Each participant in attendance must have a purchased seat. To be eligible for available CE credits, participants are required to register individually, log in on their own device, and attend the entire session.

CTOPP-2 is a measure of phonological awarenes, phonological memory, and naming. The assessment features all new normative data and a new phonological awareness subtest: Phoneme Isolation.
Benefits
- Identify individuals whose phonological abilities are significantly below their peers.
- Determine strengths and weaknesses in phonological processing skills.
- Document progress in phonological processing following intervention.
- Collect data for phonological processing research.
Features
CTOPP-2 includes twelve subtests plus supplemental tests to assess specific phonological strengths and weaknesses are included. Applicable across two age levels, 4-6 and 7-24, the CTOPP-2 has five composites:
- Phonological Awareness Component Scores (PACS) represents awareness of and access to the phonological structure of oral language.
- Phonological Memory Component Scores (PMCS) helps to measure the ability to code information phonologically for temporary storage in working or short-term memory.
- The Rapid Symbolic Naming Composite Score (RSNCS) measures the ability to include efficient retrieval of phonological information from long-term or permanent memory and execute a sequence of operations quickly and repeatedly.
- Rapid Non-Symbolic Naming Composite Score (RNNCS) measures the ability to include efficient retrieval of phonological information from long-term or permanent memory and execute a sequence of operations quickly and repeatedly using objects and colors.
- The Alternate Phonological Awareness Composite Score (APACS), an alternate composite for measuring phonological awareness, is available for 7 through 24 year olds. The APACS measures phonological awareness exclusively with nonwords, memory, as well as the ability to execute a sequence of operations quickly and repeatedly.
