- The Gallistel-Ellis Test of Coding Skills (GE Test) is a comprehensive measure of coding skills in reading and spelling. The test measures whether a student can give the sounds for the various letters and units or clusters. More importantly, it measures whether the student can recognize and spell words made up of these sounds.
- provides detailed instructions for administering and interpreting the test
- includes directives on scoring and when to stop testing
- offers advice on test modifications.
There are two core subtests (Word Identification and Spelling) and a supplemental subtest (Sound-Symbol Knowledge), which can be used in either the norm-referenced or informal assessment: Word Identification measures accuracy of sight recognition and ability to apply word attack skills, and sight recognition of irregular high-frequency words. 1 (Preliminary Manual) The Miller Word-Identification Assessment Edward Miller, 1991 (Introduction by Charlie M. Richardson) Introduction The purpose of the Miller Word-Identification Assessment (MWIA) is to discover how a person “looks at” printed words, or the extent to which he/she is reading with the whole-word.

The test covers all categories of phonic structures:
- closed syllables with single consonants, blends and digraphs
- silent-e words; soft c and g
- vowel teams and vowel-r
- suffixes and modifiers such as s, ed, ing, y, tion and consonant-le
- multi-syllable and irregular words
- nonsense syllables (to enable the tester to determine if the student relies on sight memory or has truly “cracked the code.”)
- The test is easy to administer to individual students and requires approximately 20 minutes for the teacher or assessment specialist to acquire the critical knowledge of what skills have been mastered, what need to be reviewed, and what to teach now. Post-testing can document the learning progress made. A clear and easy-to-use graphing system helps teachers identify student strengths, weaknesses and progress, and convey these to parents.
- Since recognition of coding disability is important in identifying children with learning disabilities, it is also a useful screening and identification tool (Gallistel 1973). It can be particularly useful in developing effective Tier 2 and Tier 3 Interventions, developing Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs), and monitoring progress.

Identifies students who are struggling with reading and spelling. Testing Time: 40 minutes Features of the WIST:
The WIST meets teachers' need for detailed information that can be used to identify the areas in which students are having difficulty with reading and/or spelling and to develop appropriate instructional interventions. It includes both norm-referenced and informal assessments. The WIST specifically targets those aspects of reading that are most important for the identification and treatment of poor and disabled readers. The WIST is a nationally standardized, individually administered diagnostic test that assesses students' fundamental literacy skills. It can be used by anyone who has training in standardized test administration. It was was normed on a representative sample of 1520 children and adolescents ranging in age from 7 to 18 years who resided in 16 states. The WIST has three subtests which can be used in either the Norm-Referenced or Informal assessment. The Norm-Referenced assessment has two 'core' subtests (Word Identification and Spelling) and one 'supplemental' subtest (Sound-Symbol Knowledge) and a composite score (called the Fundamental Literacy Index). On the Informal assessment, the scores are used for clinical and instructional purposes. The three subtests of the WIST are:
