The Woodcock-Munoz Language Survey III (WMLS III) is a comprehensive assessment
of listening, speaking, reading, and writing available in English and Spanish. The
versatility of the tests allows it to be used by a variety of evaluators and for a variety of
evaluation needs. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the WMLS III and highlight the many uses of the WMLS III. The presenter will demonstrate how the
WMLS III can be used to assess language proficiency levels in English language
learners and language dominance to determine in which language an evaluation should
be conducted. Additionally, specific focus will be placed on the tests that can be used
as part of a comprehensive dyslexia evaluation for English and/or Spanish speaking
students.
This session will demonstrate the administration of specific subtests in these batteries. It is recommended that participants have a general background knowledge of assessments and previous experience with administering norm-referenced tests.
