Woodcock-Johnson® IV

Grades K–12 Achievement Test

We have great experience with the most commonly performed nationally standardized achievement tests. The Woodcock-Johnson is our favorite. It is quick, gentle, and allows us to give you a consultation so that you understand the results. We want you to be able to have results that you can use to help you know where the child is strong and if they have areas of weakness in their academics. The test meets North Carolina law for homeschoolers and is used in many public and private schools.

Why The Woodcock Johnson?

Our Tests

  • Woodcock-Johnson Basic

    A Basic Woodcock-Johnson test consists of 9 tests - 3 each in Reading, Writing, and Math. It takes about 90 minutes and most of it is not timed. Immediately afterward you will get a report and a consultation. Rest in our waiting area while your student shows us what they have been learning!

    The Basic WJ meets NC law for the yearly nationally standardized achievement test requirement.

  • Woodcock-Johnson Basic Plus

    Add on Science, Social Studies, and Humanities to the Basic WJ Package. It adds only about 12 minutes of testing time.

  • Woodcock-Johnson with Reading Intensive, Kindergarten Readiness

    Special packages can be administered if a child is struggling with reading. Assess them at the beginning of the year and then mid-year or after tutoring (for example) to measure phoneme and grapheme awareness and tutoring success.

    Some schools want a Kindergarten Readiness test given to assess if a young child is ready for kindergarten.
