Need help with Student Learning during Lockdowns / Isolation?
Please see our easy approach here - https://www.wadd.com.au/base-words-level-a-ebook . Not only will you have your children working productively on useful and worthwhile materials (via our *FREE* Base Words Level A now instantly downloadable and useful math workbooks), you might find lockdowns and/or isolation times were a fresh opportunity when your children could confidently build on their skills foundation, that you will recognise more fully and help grow, following a scope and sequence that maximizes success.

Waddington Diagnostic Standard and Advanced Reading and Spelling Tests 1 & 2
Australia's most reliable reading and spelling tests for quickly and efficiently pin-pointing a student's critical reading and spelling age as well as diagnosing foundation skills and highlighting phases to be targeted for teaching and learning programs. Proven across three decades. This Third Edition is the current edition, with new advanced tests and update 1 back-up resource materials. NOTE ABOUT NORMS: In the past we have updated the norms about every 12 years. However, given the massive disrruption to student learning across Australia due to the pandemic, as well as national reports showing schools going backwards nationally, students flatlining or going backwards since 2011, the current Third Edition 2012 Waddington test norms (re-assessed in 2017 during the Update 1 release) will not be revised for a number of years. By all accounts, our norms and standard errors of measurement continue to closely meet classroom teacher expectations and annecdotal assessments of individual students.

*** FACE MASKS - TGA Australia registered/approved KN95 respirator masks and surgical type masks with Level 2 BFE 98% available. Please be aware that some masks appearing elsewhere may be non-TGA registered/approved, "civilian grade" or not at, or exceeding, Level 1 / P2 with important medical class filter layering. See here a video showing different types of masks and their effectiveness. See here a video showing how far breathing and sneeze droplets travel through the air. We do not recommend home-made masks, scarves or anything else other than medical rated KN95 or surgical Level 2 type masks.

BE COVID SAFE & STAY SAFE :
- Wash hands with soap and running water regularly.
- Don't touch your face outside of your safe isolation place unless you've washed them first. 
- Social distance more than 1.5m to 1 person only at a time.
- Apply hand sanitiser whenever entering a new place.
- Wipe over items entering your safe place of isolation, with disinfectant.
- Wear a face mask to protect yourself and others when outside your safe place of isolation.
          - Wash hands thoroughly before putting on a mask and again after taking it off.
          - Ensure it is put on right way around (usually coloured side outwards for single use masks).
          - Ensure the mask covers your nose and mouth and is snug without gaps (clean shaven face).
                           FIT-CHECK: Place one or two hands over the mask/cup (see here). Inhale and exhale sharply, checking for air leaks. Adjust until no air leaks can be felt. If Fit-Checking fails, consult a medical practitioner for a better mask via Fit-Testing.
          - Ensure there are no holes or tears in the mask.
          - Don't touch the outside of the mask or lower it, thereby breathing in infection covering its outer surface.
          - Don't use a damp, wet or dirty mask. Avoid using reusable, home-made style or masks without TGA listing.
          - If you wear glasses, reduce fogging by washing spectacles in soapy water, shake off excess water and allow to air dry or gently dry with a plain tissue.
- Increase ventilation by opening windows and reduce air recirculation. For air-conditioned spaces, air should be filtered via medical grade filters or sourced fresh externally and expelled outside via key windows.
