Age range: 6 years to 24 years 11 months Qualification level: B Year: 2012 Administration time: 10 minutes Administration type: Individual The Test of Word Reading Efficiency-Second Edition (TOWRE 2) is a measure of an individual's ability to pronounce printed words (Sight Word Efficiency) and phonemically regular non-words (Phonemic Decoding Efficiency) accurately and fluently. For example, item # 1 on Form B is mo which the pronunciation guide indicates rhymes with the vowel sound in "mom" or "mole". Test Interpretation: The scores (i.e., percentiles and standard scores) provided for the TOWRE are described and interpreted in the manual (pp. 32-36) with an example of a student's performance provided. scored the ten scoring exercises provided in Appendix A. The scoring exercises in Appendix A are provided to ensure standardized scoring of the TOSWRF. A table with the correct scores for the sample forms can be found at the end of Appendix A. Do not attempt to score the TOSWRF until your practice scores equal the correct scores. The TOWRE-2 is a quick and reliable way to assess efficiency of sight, word recognition and phonemic decoding in children and adults. It provides a valid measure of fluency and accuracy of print-based word-reading skills. The TOWRE has been widely used for three different purposes: • Early identification of word reading skills In some cases, a student may score within the normal range, but the clinician still suspects difficulties. Some clinicians find the computer scoring to be cumbersome, whereas others find it less time-consuming than hand scoring other tests. Word Test. Like the CASL, the Word Test is good for assessing higher-level semantic skills. Building on the strong theory and research underpinning the original OWLS, the Second Edition of this highly regarded test offers an integrated, global approach to language assessment. The OWLS-II adds a Reading Comprehension Scale, updated norms, new items, a parallel form, improved scoring guidelines, and full-color stimulus materials. TOMAL-2 scores include standardised or scaled scores and percentiles. Subtest scaled scores appear in a familiar metric with a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. Composite scores and indexes also are scaled to a familiar metric for ease of use and comparability with other tests (M = 100; SD = 15). The Test of Word Reading Efficiency-Second Edition (TOWRE-2) is a measure of an individual's ability to pronounce printed words (Sight Word Efficiency) and phonemically regular nonwords (Phonemic Decoding Efficiency) accurately and fluently. Because it can be administered very quickly, the test provides an efficient means of monitoring the ED 713 It is administered to children and young adults who are 2-21 years old. Scoring can also be done via CD-ROM. Khan, L., & Lewis, N. (1986). Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE 2): The TOWRE measures an individual's ability to pronounce printed words accurately and fluently. It's an efficient way to assess the ability to sound out The TOWRE-2 is individually-administered and takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The instrument contains two subtests that contain four alternate forms, A through D. The Sight Word Efficiency (SWE) subtest assesses the number of real words printed in vertical lists that an individual can accurately identify within 45 seconds. Approximate test administration and scoring time are between 10 to 30 minutes, and examiners may input data through ma
