The Early Literacy Test allows early identification of the children most likely to experience reading difficulties. Designed for use in pre-school as well as infant classes, the test provides a standardised, diagnostic assessment with a 'special needs indicator' plus matched teaching activities which will help you to:

• identify the bottom 25% at each age level before reading problems become severe;
• diagnose and profile each child's strengths and weaknesses in early literacy;
• target each child's literacy needs with individualised teaching strategies.

The Early Literacy Test profiles three key aspects of early literacy - book and story concepts, word recognition skills, and knowledge of sounds and letters (all good predictors of later reading attainment) - and provides norms as literacy/reading ages, percentiles and quotients, for chronological ages 4:6 to 7:5. The User's Handbook explains how to interpret and use the results, with half of the book devoted to 'targeted' teaching activities and classroom resources.
