Why use Teaching Talking?<br />
• Teaching Talking provides a process of screening, profiling and<br />
recording the major aspects of a child’s development<br />
• An ideal assessment to support those children who are experiencing<br />
difficulties with spoken language<br />
• The assessment offers guidance along with a range of activities and<br />
interventions to help you in supporting children at a level best suited<br />
to their individual needs<br />
Wordchains is a group reading test, designed to act as a possible<br />
indicator for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. It<br />
can give an indication of whole-class performance as well as a measure<br />
of individual pupils’ progress over time.<br />
The test consists of two parts – Letterchains and Wordchains.<br />
Letterchains is an initial screener for visual-motor dysfunction, whilst<br />
Wordchains provides clear evidence of word reading skills at all ages.<br />
The test will provide you with a word recognition age for each pupil.<br />
Why use Wordchains?<br />
• Wordchains is an ideal test for young pupils, from the age of 7 to<br />
monitor the rate of development of their word reading skills<br />
• The assessment is useful for testing pupils whose reading progress<br />
may be behind that of the year group<br />
• For older pupils or adults returning to education, Wordchains can<br />
provide a good basis for identifying individual difficulties in word<br />
recognition<br />
