Print exposure (the amount of leisure reading, or shared reading with young children) is important for the development of oral language and reading skills ([Mol & Bus, 2011][1]). Print exposure checklists are quick and objective measures of relative differences in leisure reading ([Stanovich & West, 1989][2]). We have developed three print exposure checklists that can be used with German-speaking participants aged 4 to 80. The checklists for children print exposure consist of book title items, the checklist for adults consists of author name items. To minimize guessing, participants are informed that the test also includes distractors (made-up book titles or author names). Participants check each item that they recognize. The score is calculated by subtracting the false alarms (checked distractors) from the hits (checked real items). We have developed two parallel forms of each print exposure checklist that can be used interchangeably. For preschoolers, an audio version of the checklist is also available. Information on the psychometric properties is provided in the validation studies. ---------- Validation studies and materials ------------------ ---------- ****Title Recognition Test for Preschoolers** (TRT-VS, age 4–7)** Citation: Grolig, L., Cohrdes, C., & Schroeder, S.
