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.

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.
