What Process Is Involved in WIST Assessment?

The Word Identification and Spelling Test (WIST) is a structured assessment that measures word recognition, spelling, and sound-symbol knowledge.

Key parts of the WIST assessment process include:

  • Initial Consultation: Gather background details and learning history.
  • WIST Test for Dyslexia: Assess word identification, spelling, and decoding skills.
    • Word Identification: Checks the ability to read real words aloud without any context.
    • Spelling: Measures skills in spelling both real and made-up words to assess encoding ability.
    • Sound-Symbol Knowledge: Looks at how well a person understands the connection between sounds (phonemes) and their written forms (graphemes).
  • Results Discussion: Share insights and recommend learning strategies.
  • Next Steps: Guide targeted reading support.

This assessment takes about 30 minutes and provides important insights into a student’s reading and writing skills.

Hear from Our Students and Parents

Learnability’s lessons have developed our bilingual third grader into a confident reader. Not only has he increased his confidence and speed in reading, he is actually reading chapter books for enjoyment and often reads beyond his 30 minuets a day assignment.

Parent

We feel like we are making an investment into our son’s academic skill set by working with Learnability. The tutor isn’t just helping him with his homework assignment, she is equipping him with academic skills in order that he is able to complete his assignments.

Parent

During the two years we have been with Learnability, our son has been steadily improving his reading, his grades have gotten better across all classes. His confidence has grown and he is definitely better equipped with skills to achieve in academics even as the coursework becomes more challenging.

Parent

I am always excited to work with my tutor. She genuinely cares about me and makes me feel more confident. I have been doing VV and Reading with her and look forward to working with her more in the future.
