2 The Australian Standardised Spelling Test (ASSAT) is a norm-referenced assessment, which compares the performance of students to that of a reference group of peers. Is it suitable for all students? The Australian Standardised Spelling Test is suitable for students aged 5-15 years. It can be administered to a whole class, group or individual student. Is this test properly scaffolded? The word list is graded in difficulty and is based on many variations of lists including common sight words, commonly misspelled words, essential word lists and word lists recommended in state and national curriculums. How is Spelling knowledge tested?
3 The test is based on the theory that proficient spellers draw on four main areas of knowledge when attempting to spell words correctly. Visual Knowledge - the way words and letter combinations look. Phonological Knowledge - how words and letter combinations sound. Morphemic Knowledge - the meaning of words and the way words take different spellings when they change form. Etymological Knowledge - the origins of words.
