WIST: Word Identification and Spelling Test Barbara A. Wilson • Rebecca H. Felton
AGES: 7-0 through 18-11 TESTING TIME: 40 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual FEATURES OF THE WIST:
• Measures word identification, spelling, and sound-symbol knowledge. • Identifies students who are struggling with reading and spelling. • Includes an elementary version (Grades 2–5) and a secondary version (Grades 6–12). • Is easy to administer and score. • Converts raw scores to percentiles, standard scores, and age and grade equivalents. • Is both valid and reliable for its stated purposes. • Includes an extensive, yet practical, informal assessment system for analyzing stu- dent performance that leads to instructional intervention. The WIST meets teachers’ need for detailed information that can be used to identify the areas in which students are having difficulty with reading and/or spelling and to develop appropriate instructional interventions. It includes both norm-referenced and informal assessments. The WIST specifically targets those aspects of reading that are most important for the identification and treatment of poor and disabled readers. The WIST is a nationally standardized, individually administered diagnostic test that assesses students’ fundamental literacy skills. It can be used by anyone who has training in standardized test administration. It was normed on a representative sample of 1,520 children and adolescents ranging in age from 7 to 18 years who resided in 16 states. The WIST has three subtests that can be used in either the Norm-Referenced or Informal assessment. The Norm-Referenced assessment has two core subtests (Word Identification and Spelling), one supplemental subtest (Sound-Symbol Knowledge), and a composite score (called the Fundamental Literacy Index).
