Sutherland Phonological Awareness Test, Revised (SPAT-R): Single User download

The SPAT-R, produced by Dr Roslyn Neilson, is a diagnostic test of phonological and phonemic awareness (syllable awareness, rhyming, phoneme identification, and phoneme manipulation).

The SPAT-R also includes brief tests of nonword reading and spelling, with a diagnostic analysis of phonemic awareness as demonstrated by nonword spelling skills.

• Australian norms are provided covering the first to the fourth year of schooling.
• The SPAT-R is administered individually, and takes up to 15 minutes. Alternative forms are available.

The SPAT-R download includes a movie demonstrating administration and scoring; the manual; stimulus pages; and two versions of the scoring form: one test form that includes the administration script and a shorter form that includes only the test items.

Requirement for testers:

• There are no formal qualification requirements for administering the SPAT-R, but it is expected that test users will be thoroughly familiar with test administration and interpretation, will have watched the demonstration movie, and will have practised giving the test before administering it formally to students.

Single User vs Site Licence

The standard version of this test is a Single User Licence which can be downloaded and used by the purchaser only and can only be installed on one computer, for one user. For wider use, e.g. for multiple users in a school, you should purchase a Site Licence (see Versions tab). A Site License entitles the purchaser to download and copy this test to multiple computers within their organisation at one location, with unlimited users allowed.
