The AIST-2, produced by Dr Roslyn Neilson, is a screening test of phonemic awareness and the early development of knowledge of common English spelling patterns.
The test is suitable for primary school aged children, and may be administered individually or in groups. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Australian norms are provided for the first four years of formal schooling, as well as guidelines for the diagnostic interpretation of test results. The manual provides suggestions for support and intervention.
The download includes a movie demonstrating administration and scoring; the manual; the AIST-2 spelling worksheet; administration instructions; a paper-and-pen scoring grid and optional excel files to assist scoring; and case studies to assist interpretation of individual and whole-class results.
