This norm-referenced test assesses visual reversals of letters, numbers, and words in students 5 years of age and older. It is an excellent screening instrument for the early detection of learning disabilities.

Untimed, the test can be administered and scored in about 20 minutes to individuals or groups. It consists of two levels. Level I requires the student to identify reversals of single letters and numbers, while Level II includes reversals of letters within words and reversals of whole words within sentences. Younger children (5 through 8 years of age) are given Level I only. Level II is added for children 9 and above.

.

Error scores are converted to Developmental Age scores and percentiles, with Normal, Borderline, and Deviant ranges indicated. Laterality Checklists allow you to evaluate the child’s preference for one side of the body, for unilateral tasks. Once the child has settled on a lateral preference, it is easier to remediate letter reversals.

.

Norms are based on a population of more than 3,000 children between 5 and 12 years of age in average classroom settings. Separated by sex and presented at half-year intervals, these norms allow fine discrimination, resulting in few false negatives.

This edition provides an accurate and cost-effective way to screen for learning problems and plan remediation.
