What is Acadience Spelling?

Acadience Spelling is designed based on the principles of General Outcome Measurement. Acadience Spelling measures serve as broad indicators of a student’s general spelling skills compared to other students and a measure of whether or not the student is progressing sufficiently in spelling.

 

Why Use Acadience Spelling?

Acadience Spelling is an optional measure that can be used along with Acadience Reading K–6. Spelling is a helpful tool for educators because it:

  • is a brief assessment that can be used to screen students for reading difficulties including dyslexia
  • has a history of strong technical adequacy and meets or exceeds the reliability and validity criteria for screening decisions
  • may be group or individually administered
