Administer these inventories using teacher judgment. If a student misses almost all the words, move down a level. Conversely, if a student gets almost all the words correct, move up a level. The goal is to determine developmental spelling stage. This can only be done when the test is at the right level. 

For help about how to use these inventories please contact Cindy Marten.
