Conversion Table: Tenths to Months<br />
1 = 1 month<br />
2 = 2 months<br />
3 = 4 months<br />
4 = 5 months<br />
5 = 6 months<br />
6 = 7 months<br />
7 = 8 months<br />
8 = 10 months<br />
9 = 11 months<br />
Scoring<br />
Keep a running total as you mark each group of ten (i.e. 10 20 26 30<br />
32 36).<br />
Take the raw score (the total number of words spelt correctly) divide<br />
by 10 and add 5 i.e. 36 + 5 years = 8.6 = 8.7 (converted to months).<br />
Explain the procedure<br />
Words dictated by teacher and marked in groups of ten<br />
Call out each word, starting at the top and going from left to right<br />
(i.e. 'see')<br />
Use the word in a sentence so that its meaning is clear (i.e. “I can see<br />
the bird.”)<br />
Say the word again - “see”<br />
Child continues test until there are 10 mistakes in succession<br />
[To ease the checking, make a transparency of the test to lay<br />
underneath the spellings.]<br />
N: Child’s name D: Date dd/mm/yy (and later)<br />
DOB: Date of Birth Score: xxx/100<br />
On the ‘<strong>Spelling</strong> Grid’ (20 x Rows and 5 x Columns) should be written<br />
<strong>Test</strong> the entire group at one time. The children should be seated<br />
sufficiently far apart in order to prevent them from being able to copy<br />
from each other.<br />
With all standardised tests it is essential that there is no teaching to<br />
the test and you should wait at least six months between testing.<br />
