Administer, score, and interpret the TOD-S, TOD-E, and TOD-C dyslexia assessments
Essentials of the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) provides important insights into the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the three direct dyslexia assessment components and the co-normed rating scales. The book shows how the TOD instructional guide facilitates linking assessment results to interventions and is designed to expand understanding of the underlying linguistic abilities and related reading and spelling skills that are impacted for individuals with dyslexia.
With numerous case studies and case reports that provide guided practice in interpreting scores and score reports, this book delivers insights on:
Sample/potential questions to ask young children, such as “Do you have a lot of books at home?”
Accurate calculation of chronological age before beginning an evaluation
Potential administration errors, such as adding a schwa sound when pronouncing consonant sounds when administering the TOD-E
The three levels of interpretation as a framework to interpret scores and score profiles and relative differences among scores
Confidence bands (intervals) as a standardized method to reflect the confidence that the examinee’s true score falls within an identified range
Essentials of the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) is a complete resource for assessment professionals, reading specialists, and educators who are interested in understanding reading difficulties and evaluating and serving individuals with dyslexia.
