O objetivo é verificar quais competências são medidas nesses testes, os construtos sobre alfabetização implícitos ou explícitos pelos indicadores e a robustez dos itens em relação aos indicadores. Os resultados da análise permitem concluir que os diferentes testes usados no Brasil desconhecem a literatura científica sobre o tema, não dialogam entre si e, consequentemente, não avaliam os mesmos indicadores, não apresentam validade de construto nem possuem itens suficientes para medir as competências centrais da alfabetização. Em comum, esses testes compartilham e refletem a confusão conceitual entre os construtos de alfabetização e compreensão.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The paper analysis the literacy tests available in Brazil using the empirical evidence about what skills are involved in learning to read. The purpose of the paper is to identify the abilities measured by these tests, the implicit or explicit constructs implied in the indicators and the robustness of the test items in relation to the indicators. The results suggest that the various tests used in Brazil ignore the current literature about learning how to read, are not consistent with each other and, as a result, do not evaluate the same indicators. They also neither present construct validity nor sufficient items to measure the central skills associated to learning to read. The tests share and reflect a conceptual confusion between the constructs of reading and understanding.]]></p></abstract>
