Hi Jo
 WRAT 4 and
WIAT-II-uk-T is worth a look - from Pearson blurb below.

"Assess single word reading, reading comprehension, reading speed and
spelling in one assessment
Author/s:

David Wechsler, 2006
Age Range:

4 to 85 years (17 to 85 years are US norms)
Administration:

Individual or Group - 30 to 40 minutes"

I too have some money to spend on software for reading, spelling age range
KS3 and English Language GCSE - I know this has been a thread before but has
anyone any recommendations?
(Already have the usuals i.e Wordshark, superspell...) Anything new you have
found?

Lindsay

I have money to spend before the end of the financial year and would like to
buy new assessment materials. Can colleagues recommend anything which will
give an easy assessment (up to 18 yrs - sec sch,) of reading, spelling,
comprehension and as well as giving percentiles, standardised scores, age
equivalents and might possibly indicate NC levels for Eng?
Any advice welcomed.
Jo
