  1. Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised

  2. Purpose • The Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised-Normative Update is a comprehensive individual assessment of reading ability. The WRMU-R was re-normed in 1995-96.

  3. Appropriate for: Grades K-16 ages 5 years 0 months through 75 Time – 10-30 minutes for each cluster of individually administered tests

  4. Reliability Internal reliability • Tests median = .91 (range .68 to .98) • Clusters median = .95 (range .87 to .98) • Total median = .97 (range .86 to .99)

  5. ReadinessForm G Only • Visual Auditory learning • A task to determine if the student can associate symbols with words • Tests memory, attention, grouping of word parts (i.e., ing with verbs) • Letter identification • Alphabet recognition • Different fonts • Print and cursive

  6. Basic Skills • Test 3: Word identification • Reading words • Begins with one word on a page and advances to multiple words • 106 items in increasing difficulty • The student does not need to know what any of the words mean • Average score for a kindergarten student is 1 • Average score for a student in 12th grade is 96

  7. Basic Skills • Test 4: Word Attack • Reading two types of words • Nonsense words • Words with very low frequency usage • Measures the ability to apply phonic and structural analytic skills • Training is provided so the student will know how to approach the test

  8. Comprehension • Test 5: Word Comprehension • 3 subtests • Each begins with sample items • Training continues until competes the item correctly. • Subtest 5A: Antonyms • Measures ability to read a word and respond orally with a word opposite in meaning

  9. Comprehension • Subtest 5B: Synonyms • Comprehension of reading vocabulary • Read a word and state another word similar in meaning • Synonyms are “a more difficult cognitive processing task than Antonyms.” p. 7

  10. Comprehension • Subtest 5C: Analogies • Read a pair of words; • ascertain the relationship, • read the first word of the second pair, • use the same relationship to supply a word to complete the analogy • Demonstrates content embedded word knowledge

  11. Word comprehension reading vocabularies • General reading • Science-mathematics • Social studies • Humanities

  12. Comprehension • Test 6: Passage Comprehension • Modified cloze procedure • Short passage with a blank line • Student supplies a word that “fits” in the blank • The first 1/3 of the passage are one sentence long and have a picture related to the text

  13. Administration • The test battery will take an experienced tester about 45 minutes • Test by complete pages

  14. Follow the basal rules • Start at the points indicated in the tables in the test easel • If the student is correct on the first 6 items, a basal is established. • If less than 6 are correct, go back a page and administer the whole page. • Continue to test backwards starting with the first item on a page until the first 6 on a page are correctly answered

  15. Ceiling rules • 6 or more consecutively failed items that end with the last item on a test page. • See page 22 for an example of basal and ceiling scoring

  16. Word identification • MUST know how to pronounce the words in the test (p. 28-29) • A table of suggested starting points is provided in the easel • If the student does not respond to the first item, score it 0 and say the word and ask the student to repeat it • NO OTHER WORDS WILL BE READ TO THE STUDENT • WRITE what the student said for incorrect responses • Write comments the student says

  17. Word attack • If the student scores 0 or 1 on the word identification, a score of 0 can be recorded for Word Attack • (For our practice, don’t do this) • Begin with the 2 sample items; then proceed to item 1 • Study the pronunciation guide (p. 28-29) • The student must answer within 5 seconds • The “word” must be read naturally –not sunded out for the final reading • WRITE what the student says

  18. Word comprehension • For all three subtests, the student reads the item aloud and responds orally • Only single word responses are acceptable • Mispronunciations are not errors • WRITE what the student says • Begin with the practice item in each subtest

  19. Scoring • Score as you administer the test • Score 1 or 0 by the item • Write any comments and erroneous responses • Raw score is the sum of correct responses plus 1 point for every item below the basal

  20. Scoring word comprehension • Antonyms and Synonyms combined score • Calculate the score for each subtest • Add them • Convert this raw score to a part score • Record in the box labeled 5A+5B part score • Covert the Analogies raw score to a part score • Sum both part scores for a Word comprehension W score

  21. Reading vocabularies • Count the correct responses for the Test 5 subtests • The designation for each response is coded on the test record • G general reading • SM science and math • SOC social studies • H humanities

  22. Age and grade calculations • Age is standard- use the AGS calculator if you wish • Grade placement is by tenths of the school year • See table in the test protocol or on page 32
