WJ IV Achievement Battery, Australasian Adaptation

(USER LEVEL: C – Registered Psychologists; School Counsellors; Special Education and Learning Support Specialists)

Determining achievement strengths and weaknesses is easier than ever! The WJ IV Tests of Achievement (Form C) Australasian Adaptation is ideal for accurately screening, diagnosing and monitoring progress in reading, writing and mathematics achievement areas.

Examiners receive 11 tests in the standard battery. Using the standard battery provides a broad set of scores, while the extended battery allows for more in-depth diagnostic assessment of specific strengths and weaknesses. The selective testing feature of the WJ IV offers examiners the option to only administer the specific tests relevant to any referral questions. As a result, an examiner seldom needs to administer all of the tests or complete all of the interpretive options for a single person.

• Easy-to-use test and cluster comparison procedures allow identification of achievement strengths and weaknesses.
• New two-test Reading, Mathematics, and Written Language clusters provide standard skill development measures without speed requirements.
• New Oral Reading, Reading Speed, and Reading Comprehension tests provide diagnostically useful measures that are necessary for the evaluation of reading performance.
• New Number Matrices test adds a richer, in-depth interpretation of maths problem-solving ability.
• New variation procedures allow for comparison of fluency to basic skills and applications – an important diagnostic marker.
• Qualitative checklists for each test in the Standard Battery provide important information that is critical to understanding student performance.
• Updated and expanded Science, Social Studies, and Humanities tests can be compared to academic achievement.
• Increased diagnostic capability with measures of phonetic coding and speed of lexical access when used with the WJ IV Tests of Oral Language.
• New Reading Fluency and Reading Rate clusters provide reliable and comprehensive measures of reading fluency.

WJ IV Oral Language Battery, Australasian Adaptation

(USER LEVEL: C – Registered Psychologists; School Counsellors; Special Education and Learning Support Specialists; Speech Pathologists)

The WJ IV Tests of Oral Language provide important contemporary measures of oral language abilities for diagnostic decision-making utilising patterns of strengths and weaknesses (PSW) as well as providing a measure of Cognitive-Academic Language Proficiency (CALP).

The Oral Language tests may be used to determine and describe an individuals strengths and weaknesses with regard to expressive language. The 9-test battery are presented in a single easel.

Depending on the purpose and extent of the assessment, an examiner can use any of these tests independently or in conjunction with the WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities and/or WJ IV Tests of Achievement. Several of the battery’s tests were derived from the material in the WJ III Tests of Achievement and WJ III Tests of Cognitive Abilities.

Use the WJ IV Oral Language battery to:

• Measure four aspects of oral language in English.
• Provide language-related insights into observed learning problems.

Features

• Innovative design makes the Tests of Oral Language an important diagnostic supplement to the Tests of Cognitive Abilities and Tests of Achievement.
• Allows for the evaluation of strengths and weaknesses among oral language abilities for a more complete evaluation of specific learning disabilities including dyslexia.
• New Segmentation test provides important information about phonological processing.
• Increases diagnostic sensitivity with measures of phonetic coding and speed of lexical access.
• Yields a measure of Cognitive-Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) which is often more useful in academic settings than measures of Basic Interpersonal Communication skills (BICS).
• Provides a unique comparison of oral language comprehension for comparison to levels of academic achievement.
• Compares achievement levels to oral language ability for a complete picture of the child’s skills.

Benefits

• Allows examiners to evaluate the presence and severity of any phonological or rapid automatic naming deficits.
• Provides language-related insights into observed learning problems.
• Determines if academic achievement is commensurate with, or discrepant from, the ability to comprehend oral language.
• Identifies the cognitive and academic language proficiency of English language learners.
• Measures foundational phonological skills-breaking words into parts and blending sounds to make words.
• Evaluates the impact of oral language proficiency on cognitive and academic performance.
• Compare achievement levels to oral language ability.
