The new Symbol Imagery (SITM) Test is a standardized, norm-referenced test designed to measure a student's symbol imagery for sounds and letters within words.
Symbol imagery is the ability to create mental imagery for the sounds and letters within words. It supports both phonological and orthographic processing, and it is essential to the development of word attack, word recognition, spelling, and accurate, fluent contextual reading.
The SI Test is ideal for progress monitoring.
SI Test results show large to very large correlations with measures of...
- Phonemic awareness
- Word attack
- Word recognition
- Spelling
- Paragraph-reading fluency and comprehension
"Symbol imagery is a silent partner in reading and spelling words, yet this powerful source of sensory input is not easily accessed by everyone because there are individual differences in symbol imagery ability. The Symbol Imagery Test measures these individual differences and provides you, the examiner, the ability to identify an essential factor related to competancy in literacy." —Nanci Bell
