Does SPELL 2 exhaustively test every spelling pattern of English?
The construction of any test must balance the desire to assess the target skill or skills in every possible context with the practical constraints of creating a test that can be completed within a reasonable amount of time. SPELL 2 assesses 60 of the most common spelling patterns. The decision about which spelling patterns to include was based on several published resources as well as clinical judgment by the authors about what patterns were most important to include.
