I use elements of the WJIII Tests of Achievement (Word ID, Word Attack,  
Spelling of Sounds, Sound Awareness) to get a baseline functioning  level with low 
level readers. However, these tests do not necessarily allow  for progress to 
be measured, when re-testing after a year of tutoring in a  structured, 
phonics-based literacy program.
