Scored by cut-points, the battery of tests comprising tasks on ordering words by vowels or consonants, spelling (identification), choosing signs and glides, combining words correctly (phonology), vocabulary (picture), using appropriate one word (morphology), dictation and story development significantly screen upper primary writing difficult students with around 90percent sensitivity and specificity. | ||
