Standardized tests and test batteries for the Assessment and Diagnosis of Reading and Writing Disabilities
Tests in Hebrew

http://www.mofet.macam.ac.il/mylibrary/books/Pages/068850.aspx
"Ma’akav – Mipuy Adkani Shel Kriaa Vektiva” (In English: Current Mapping of Reading and Writing, an 80-page teacher guide). The test was developed for elementary school teachers. Its objective is to identify students between grades two and six who demonstrate difficulties with written language. The test includes a theoretical and practical guide, examination booklets for each grade, and sheets for collecting and summarizing data. The test is routinely used throughout the country by educators in elementary schools and educational assessors in junior high schools. The "Ma'akav" test was incorporated into two government programs, LEV and ELA, aimed at detecting and providing appropriate intervention for students with learning difficulties in primary and junior high schools respectively. In addition, numerous educators use the test to examine the achievements of their students before and after intervention programs. - Shany, M., Lachman, D., Shalem, Z., Bahat, A., & Zeiger, T.

"Aleph-Taph" (a 309- page manual). A diagnostic test, developed for professionals who deal with assessment and diagnosis of reading and writing disabilities. The test includes a manual, providing information regarding theoretical and practical issues and tables of standardized national norms for grades two through six. Thirty-two subtests are organized in a 183-pages folder, according to two central areas of functioning: reading/writing achievement and related cognitive mechanisms. Examination booklets and sheets for collecting and summarizing data are provided for each grade. "Aleph-Taph" is the main diagnostic test for reading disabilities in Israel, available to all professionals dealing with the assessment of learning disabilities. It has also been incorporated as a research tool. Data I collected from a population of over 1,600 students is presented in two studies, dealing with subtypes of dyslexia in fourth graders (see details in List of Publications, D10) and development of word reading in Hebrew (see details in List of Publications, D11).
Tests in Arabic
NOTE: This is the first normative test developed anywhere in the world for the assessment of language disabilities in the Arabic language.

"Lorat Elkeraa" (a 170-page manual). A diagnostic test, the first test developed worldwide for professionals responsible for assessment and diagnosis of reading and writing disabilities in the Arabic language. The test includes a manual providing information regarding theoretical and practical issues and standardized national norms for grades one through six. Separate tests were developed for each two grade level (a 55-pages folder for each two grade level) to assess reading and writing achievement in relation to norms and to provide in-depth assessment of related cognitive and linguistic abilities. The test has a computerized scoring program. Data I collected from a population of over 1,200 students is presented in a study dealing with the development of comprehension (see details in List of Publications, D19) and in a study dealing with subtypes of dyslexia in Arabic (see details In Preparation, K6).
