Day 3 of Dyslexia Foundations & Identification

      


Day 3: Day 3 is a step-by-step test procedure for the administration and scoring of the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing-2 (CTOPP-2), Gray Oral Reading Test, Fifth Edition (GORT-5), and Test of Written Spelling-5 (TWS-5). All three assessment measures may be used to assist with the identification of a Specific Learning Disability in Basic Reading and/or Reading Fluency with the condition of dyslexia. Each subtest of the CTOPP-2 will be explained in detail, along with scoring practice for each of the 3 instruments. The TWS-5 uses a dictated-word format to assess spelling skills in school-age children and adolescents. It includes two forms and each form contains 50 spelling words. Guided practice, demonstration, independent practicum, and case studies will be included using all three measures. Special attention will be given to explaining multiple miscue marking systems on the GORT-5.
