Publisher: Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc., 16204 North Florida Avenue, Lutz, Florida 33549, from the Wide Range Achievement Test Revision 4 by Gary S. Wilkinson, PhD and Gary J. Robertson, PhD, Copyright 1993, 2006 by PAR, Inc.

Ages 7 or younger: Administer Part 1: Letter Reading first, followed by Part 2: Word Reading. Discontinue if a Participant has responded incorrectly to 10 consecutive items (10 RULE). Ages 8 or older: Administer Part 2: Word Reading first. Discontinue the Word Reading section if the Participant has answered 10 consecutive items incorrectly (10 RULE). If the Participant has correctly answered 5 or more items on the Word Reading section before meeting the discontinue criterion, do not administer the preliminary Letter Reading section. If the Participant did not answer at least 5 items correctly on the Word Reading section, then administer Part 1: Letter Reading (5 RULE).

After handing the Participant the Word Reading List, say, Look at each of these words carefully. (Point to the words) Read the words across the page so I can hear you. When you finish the first line, go right on to the second line, and so on down the page until you finish or I tell you to stop. Read slowly and say the words clearly. Allow 10 seconds for the Participant to respond to each word. If there is no response after 10 seconds, say, OK, try the next one. If you did not hear a word clearly, say, I could not hear you clearly. Please say the word again just as you did the first time. When the Participant has finished the Word Reading section, say, That's all. Thanks. Now we are going to do something else.
