The Wide Range Achievement Test Fifth Edition (WRAT5™) provides an accurate and easy-to-administer way to assess and monitor the reading, spelling, and math skills, and helps identify possible learning disabilities.
The WRAT5 builds on the test’s history of strong normative data and accuracy estimating premorbid verbal intelligence in lower functioning patients.
Benefits
- Test learners of all ages using the same assessment.
- Screen individuals or small groups (with some subtests) to help identify those requiring a more comprehensive academic achievement evaluation.
- Administer only the subtests that are needed.
- Administer with paper and pencil.
Features
Updates to WRAT5 include current normative data; improved subtests and identification of learning disabilities; streamlined rules; and digital administration, scoring and reporting for four subtests:
- Word Reading: measures untimed letter identification and word recognition. The examinee reads aloud a list of letters/words.
- Sentence Comprehension: measures the ability to identify the meaning of words and to comprehend the ideas and information in a sentence using an untimed modified cloze procedure.
- Spelling: measures an individual's ability to write letters and words from dictation without a time limit.
- Math Computation: measures an individual's ability to count, identify numbers, solve simple oral math problems, and calculate written math problems with a time limit.
- A Reading Composite score is created by combining the Word Reading and Sentence Comprehension standard scores.
