						<p>How do I use the Administration Manual with Canadian Supplement?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>The Canadian Supplement to the WIAT&ndash;4 Administration Manual is an appendix that allows for the administration of WIAT&ndash;4 content that has been adapted for the Canadian population. The four subtests with administration changes include:&nbsp;</p>

						<ul>
							<li>Listening Comprehension &ndash; Oral Discourse Comprehension&nbsp;</li>
							<li>Reading Comprehension&nbsp;</li>
							<li>Math Problem Solving&nbsp;</li>
							<li>Oral Reading Fluency&nbsp;</li>
						</ul>

						<p>These Canadian Supplement subtests should replace the subtests contained within the main chapters of the Administration Manual. The order of administration of subtests has not changed&mdash;the subtests should be administered as they are presented in the Record Form. A red and white Canadian maple leaf is located next to each of these four subtests in the Record Form to remind users to switch to the Canadianized subtest in the Supplement. For ease of use, each of these four subtests have the administration instructions reproduced in their entirety within the Canadian Supplement.&nbsp;</p>

						<p>Outside of the Canadian Supplement, all content in the Administration Manual uses US English terminology and spelling (e.g., PK for JK, favorite for favourite). However, none of these differences involve examinee-facing stimuli.&nbsp;</p>

						<p>Note that two subtests have changes that do not impact the Administration Manual and therefore are not in the Canadian Supplement: Numerical Operations Response Booklet and Record Form, and the Orthographic Fluency Stimulus Book.&nbsp;</p>

						<p>Examiners who wish to use the WIAT-4 Orthographic Choice subtest on Q-interactive must contact Pearson to have the US WIAT-4 added to their license. The US-normed Orthographic Choice subtest can be administered on Q-interactive in a separate battery and cannot be combined with WIAT-4 Canadian subtests.</p>

						<p>For writing and spelling subtests, examiners can ask students to clarify illegible handwriting after the test is completed. If the handwriting remains unrecognizable despite the student&#39;s explanation, this qualitative information is noted, but the oral response isn&rsquo;t scored. If the student&rsquo;s explanation makes the writing recognizable, it may be considered based on the subtest&#39;s scoring rules. For Essay Composition, the writing must be legible enough for the examiner to transcribe and score it. If most of the writing is illegible and oral clarification doesn&rsquo;t help, the essay cannot be scored.</p>

						<p>The WIAT-4 scoring rules are based on the (unchanged) Grammar &amp; Mechanics score from the WIAT-III, which correlates strongly with overall writing quality and has high clinical sensitivity. The WIAT-III scores for Word Count and Content &amp; Organization are not included in the WIAT-4; instead, a Content and Organization Qualitative Analysis is provided to assess these areas.</p>

						<p>How does the IEA score an essay?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>The IEA scoring engine assesses the grammar/syntax and the mechanics of the transcribed essay. When an examiner submits an essay for scoring, the IEA assesses features of the essay and compares the essay to a training set - a large database of training essays previously scored by human scorers. The IEA assigns a score based in part on the similarity of the essay to the training set.</p>

						<p>Can the IEA score highly unusual or very brief essays?</p>

						<td>
						<p>Examiners should not attempt to score essays that are written in a language other than English, incomprehensible essays (e.g., essays with a high number of severely misspelled words), or essays that are completely off topic (i.e., the examinee did not follow the instructions). Essays must have a minimum word count of 30 to be scored; however, at least 40 words is recommended.</p>
