Psychometric Information
The standardization of the WRMT–III was conducted from July 2009 through June 2010 on a nationally representative sample of 3,360 individuals aged 4 years 6 months through 79 years 11 months. Of this sample, 2,600 individuals were enrolled in school (kindergarten through Grade 12), and their data were used for the grade norms. Tests were administered at more than 1,000 sites in 45 states.
The WRMT-III tests were compared to the WRMT-R/NU, KTEA-II, WIAT-III, WJ-III, CTOPP, and RFI tests. These studies are important for establishing the similarities between scores obtained on the WRMT-III tests and those of other commonly used reading tests and for providing support for convergent evidence of the WRMT-III tests and measures of reading achievement.

Report Options
Scoring and/or Reporting Options
Q-global™ Web-based Administration, Scoring, and Reporting – Enables you to quickly assess and efficiently organize examinee information, generate scores, and produce accurate comprehensive reports all via the Web.
Two options for scoring and reporting the WRMT-III are now available on Q-global.
The first option is to pay per-report. Customers who administer the WRMT-III only a few times each year, or those who want the flexibility to pay only as the assessment is used, may prefer this option.
The second option is to select an “unlimited use” subscription, where one user of the WRMT-III gets unlimited scoring and reporting for one, three, or five years depending on the selected term of the subscription. This may be a better option for customers who administer the WRMT-III several times each year—and don’t want to worry about keeping track of their report expenses.

Educational Practice in Dyslexia: Professional Roles and Knowledge Gaps
Presenter: Tina Eichstadt and Adam Scheller
Overview
Five webinars about dyslexia held in 2016-2017 were attended by 6,591 SLPs, psychologists, and special educators. Webinar data offered insights into practitioners’ perspectives on dyslexia training needs and role clarification in practice settings. Presenters will discuss results, which suggests gaps between best practices in dyslexia and reports from individuals engaging in clinical practice.
Learner Outcomes
After the completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- List the two areas of dyslexia training practitioners request most often.
- Describe the knowledge gap identified by practitioners using scores for assessment and progress monitoring.
- Identify the role(s) practitioners currently play in inter-professional practice regarding dyslexia.
Time-ordered Agenda
1:00 to 1:05 pm – Introduction and overview
1:05 to 1:30 pm – Practitioner roles in dyslexia
1:30 to 1:55 pm – Practitioner knowledge and skills
1:55 to 2:00 pm – Conclusions and Wrap Up
This course is offered for 0.1 ASHA CEUs (Intermediate level, Professional area.)
