LITERACY
Wordchains is a group reading test, designed to act as a possible
indicator for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. It
can give an indication of whole-class performance as well as a measure
of individual pupils’ progress over time.
The test consists of two parts – Letterchains and Wordchains.
Letterchains is an initial screener for visual-motor dysfunction, whilst
Wordchains provides clear evidence of word reading skills at all ages.
The test will provide you with a word recognition age for each pupil.
Why use Wordchains?
• Wordchains is an ideal test for young pupils, from the age of 7 to
monitor the rate of development of their word reading skills
• The assessment is useful for testing pupils whose reading progress
may be behind that of the year group
• For older pupils or adults returning to education, Wordchains can
provide a good basis for identifying individual difficulties in word
recognition
