[SENco-forum] Assessment recommendations please

Who needs money!

Have a look at the free tests provided on the Dyslexia Action site.  These
cover Digit memory (similar to Digit span), small word reading, non words,
Kirklees reading/general knowledge (IQ Indicator), visual discrimination,
basic ph/gh correspondence, spoonerism for initial sound juggling, writing
speeds (single letter/wpm)& sentence completion (tougher than free writing).

With the money that you have left over I would spend £150 on Kaufman Brief
Intelligence Test (as I don't have access to BPVS/Ravens.  I have WRAT for
spelling, reading and arithmetic.  Great for norms & data, but time
consuming and not much use unless you are prepared to have a real look to
see why the student did what they did (sums always out by one etc.,)

I have a set of printable worksheets with ideas for looking at visual,
tactile & kinaesthetic memory (to go with the auditory memory scores from
the Digit Memory Test) if you want them.
