WJ IV Tests of Achievement
Restriction Level: Medium | Ages: 2 - 90+ | Time Per Subtest: 5 - 10 mins |
The Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Achievement (WJ IV ACH) are ideal for accurately screening, diagnosing, and monitoring progress in reading, writing, and mathematics achievement with the 11-test standard battery.
The nine-test extended battery allows for a more in-depth diagnostic assessment of specific strengths and weaknesses.
- Selective testing: administer only the tests relevant to your referral questions
- Monitor progress once a proficiency level is established and interventions are implemented
- Parallel forms prevent examinees from building familiarity with test content
The WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities
Restriction Level: High | Ages: 2 - 90+ | Time Per Subtest: 5 - 10 mins |
The Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ IV COG) contain the greatest breadth of cognitive abilities of any standardized body of tests. New tests and clusters have been designed to place emphasis on the most useful measures for identifying individuals’ patterns of strengths and weaknesses.
- New Gf-Gc Composite for comparison with other cognitive, oral, and achievement measures
- All-new working memory, perceptual speed, and phonological processing measures
- Easy-to-use intracognitive variation procedure allows documentation of cognitive strengths and weaknesses
The WJ IV Tests of Oral Language
Restriction Level: Medium | Ages: 2 - 90+ | Time Per Subtest: 5 - 10 mins |
The Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Oral Language (WJ IV OL) can be used to determine and describe an individual’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to expressive language. The
12-test battery consists of nine English tests and three Spanish tests.
- Use independently or in conjunction with the Tests of Achievement / Cognitive Abilities
- Three parallel Spanish tests help classify language proficiency and ability
- Compare proficiency on English- and Spanish-language tasks through the Comparative Language Index (CLI)
The Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Early Cognitive
and Academic Development (ECAD®)
Restriction Level: High | Ages: 2:6 through 7:11 | Time Per Subtest: 5 - 10 mins |
One easel, one test record, one hour. That’s all it takes for a complete administration of the Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Early Cognitive and Academic Development (ECAD®). For examiners with specific referrals, it could take even less.
ECAD features a combination of unique new material and early-form content adapted from trusted Woodcock-Johnson IV tests, offering a dynamic way for examiners to assess emerging cognitive abilities and academic skills in young children and children with cognitive delays using contemporary, theory-based measures.
- One easel, ten tests: 4 unique to ECAD, and 6 early forms of WJ IV materials
- Complete assessment clusters for ECAD individually or in any combination
- Report percent delay, standard deviation delay, and months delay scores
The WJ IV Interpretation and Instructional
Interventions Program™ (WIIIP®)
While no tool can replace an examiner's training, experience, and intuition, a WIIIP subscription offers a research-based supplement that can serve as a starting point for analysis, discussion, and implementation of teaching strategy, generating personalized interventions and accommodations based on an individual’s Woodcock-Johnson® IV and ECAD results.

WIIIP Comprehensive Reports for WJ IV & ECAD
WIIIP Comprehensive Reports provide actionable steps for schools and practitioners working on problem-solving teams, and can serve as an ideal solution for implementing discrepancy models or Response to Intervention (RtI) processes.
WIIIP Dyslexia Report for WJ IV
Available only with a WIIIP subscription, the new WJ IV Dyslexia Report provides a conceptual framework for the evaluation of dyslexia. It also:
-
- Contains new dyslexia evaluation checklists that aids in diagnostic decision making and intervention planning
- Organizes and presents assessment results in a manner useful for determining whether students are demonstrating dyslexia characteristics
- Assists school teams with program eligibility-decisions
The Dyslexia Report includes formative and evidence-based interventions tied to the examinee’s unique test results and can be used with other WIIIP checklists to provide a comprehensive profile of an examinee’s abilities.
