User’s Guide

The User’s Guide is intended to help examiners as they administer, score, and interpret the Diagnostic Decoding Surveys. It is written with three major purposes. First, it explains the Beginning Decoding Survey and the Advanced Decoding Survey to first-time users. Second, it answers questions that new and experienced Survey users may have. Third, it gives many scoring examples to illustrate the various mistakes that students may make on the Surveys.

In addition, the User’s Guide explains the research supporting the Surveys and how they fit into an RTI model. Click here to see sample pages of the User’s Guide and the Table of Contents.
