						<p>The Technical Manual (included on USB in the WIAT-lll UK paper kit, and in the Qg digital library), is primarily included to provide additional reliability, validity and background information that is not available in the UK manuals.</p>

						<p>The Technical Manual does however also include the US norms up to age 50. Please note that any administrations from the age of 26 upwards would require hand scoring. Although hand scoring for the AAD: predicted-difference and simple-difference method is possible, the PSW discrepancy analysis cannot be hand scored and is therefore not available for ages 26 upwards on the WIAT-lll UK.</p>

						<p>The new subtest, Oral Reading Fluency (ORF), provides separate standard scores for reading speed, accuracy and fluency. Early Reading, Reading Comprehension and Oral Reading Fluency are presented as three separate subtests in the WIAT-lll UK to more specifically target the measurement of these skills. The ORF subtest includes two passages per age group. The speed norms are based on reading aloud.</p>

						<p>Why are the sample sizes smaller in the WIAT-lll UK than in the previous edition?</p>

						<p>Technical advances in norming procedures, such as inferential norming, allow today&#39;s researchers to accomplish high quality norms with fewer cases when re-validating a new edition of an existing test that measures the same constructs as the previous edition. This is especially true when the revised test has already been validated in a country with a similar language and culture, such as other English speaking countries.</p>

						<p>The WIAT-III UK is linked to WISC-V UK through a sample of 387 children who were administered both tests. Although there is recent debate about the necessity of co-norming (Rohling, et al, 2015), measurement experts have often stressed the importance of using co-normed or linked ability and achievement batteries in clinical diagnosing and assessing special learning disabilities (Reynolds, 1990; Wechsler 2009).</p>

						<p>Co-normed or linked test batteries use identical or mostly identical normative samples that are representative of the population of interest, which ensures the pattern of strengths and weaknesses analysis or ability-achievement analysis are based on the same or similar reference groups.</p>
