Name of test: Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement -- Applied Problems, Letter-Word Identification subtests (English and corresponding Spanish versions of these tests from Bateria III Woodcock-Muñoz)

Estimated time burden: 15 minutes

Number of items: 62 in Applied Problems, 76 in Letter-Word Identification (though only selected items are administered to participants, based on age and performance)¹

Summary:

These are published tests. The Woodcock-Johnson III tests (Applied Problems and Letter-Word Identification) are administered in English, while the Woodcock-Muñoz tests (from the Bateria III) are their Spanish analogs.

The Applied Problems test assesses quantitative reasoning in addition to mathematics knowledge. The Letter-Word Identification is a test of reading decoding, a process by which recognized letters and words are accessed from the mental lexicon (i.e., the store of word knowledge) and recoded phonologically.

In both tests, participants start at an item appropriate for their age and are administered subsequent items based on their performance. Basal and ceiling rules for the test are applied, such that the number of items a participant must answer can be minimized.
