[senco-forum] Naglieri or Raven's?

Dear Lindsay
Nfer Nelson Non-verbal? I used to use the Ravens and prefer this. 45 mins. Standardised.

For typing, I have used various proprietary programmes with varying degrees of enthusiasm by the students, but this is one that they all clamour to do as it seems to be more of a game. It has good quality graphics and interesting sound effects. After each practice, there is a reward a game and has random letters and then patterns coming at you, which you have to type as quickly as possible. Unfortunately it's American spelling. Free to play online, free to download trial, cheap to buy. http://www.popcap.com/gamepopup.php?theGame=typershark 

Best wishes
Lorna

If you could only buy one test for individual assessment (non verbal
reasoning) which one would you buy?
(Have checked the old thread but could not find the answer...)
 Any drawbacks to either test?
Thanks

Lindsay

Try this free downloadable one. The kids love it.

It's basic but easy to use.
If you want to purchase one try Touch Type by Iota software, It costs about
£35 for single user. I've used it very successfully with dyslexic pupils and
moderate learning difficulty pupils.
