What are the age or grade equivalents of the SPELL 2 testing levels?
The levels represent which spelling patterns were tested for an individual student, based on their performance on the SPELL 2 Selector Items. The levels do not have corresponding age equivalents, percentiles, or grade equivalents. Instead, the levels represent the student’s spelling performance along a continuum of linguistic complexity. The purpose of SPELL 2 is to identify specific deficits and appropriate intervention for a student who has spelling problems. To determine a specific grade level of performance, we recommend the administration of a standardized spelling test (e.g., the TEST of Written Spelling – 4 by Larsen, Hammill and Moats, published by Pro-Ed).
