TEST2r is an early screening test for reading and writing, it is an individually administered test suitable for 5 and 6 year-old children (Senior Infants and 1st Class). The first part constitutes a rapid screener test, made up of five subtests (tasks) for use by the classroom teacher. The second part consists of a range of diagnostic subtests given by the Learning Support Teacher to clarify any literacy subskill needs. The Learning Support Teacher should then decide on appropriate interventions to develop these skills.
TEST2r is presented in 3 parts -
A Teacher Manual, a Visual Stimulus Book and a Scorebooklet. A TEST2r set comes with 5 Scorebooklets.
Task results will be entered on www.test2r.ie to generate a report on the child. |
