Process Assessment of the Learner | Second Edition

PAL-II Reading & Writing, PAL-II Math, & Revised PAL-II User Guides and PAL Intervention Materials
For clinicians and MTSS professionals, the PAL-II evaluates reading, writing, and math related processes to help diagnose dyslexia, dysgraphia, oral and written language learning disability (OWL-LD), and dyscalculia. Both individually-administered assessments link to targeted evidenced-based interventions. The Revised PAL User Guide and newly-updated intervention materials provide evidence-based strategies to create positive learning outcomes for students with reading, writing, and math difficulties. The PAL-II and Revised PAL products are the most current versions of the PAL product suite. See our Guidance on using this assessment remotely.

PAL-II Reading and Writing

PAL-II Reading and Writing has normed measures for assessing reading and writing achievement and reading-related and writing-related processes. The Revised PAL-II Reading and Writing User Guide explains evidence-based procedures for:

  • Tier I Screen and Intervene
  • Tier II Problem Solving Consultation
  • Tier III Differential Diagnosis and Differentiated Instruction

These procedures use the PAL-II Reading and Writing assessment measures and other tests as well as the Revised PAL Instructional Materials.

The Revised User Guide is available via Mimeo (see link on the right on this page); the PAL-II test kit is available on this page above.

Benefits

PAL-II Math

PAL-II Math has normed measures for assessing math achievement and math-related processes. The Revised PAL-II Math User Guide explains evidence-based procedures for:

  • Tier I Screen to Intervene
  • Tier II Problem Solving Consultation
  • Tier III Diagnosis and Specialized Instruction for dyscalculia

These procedures use PAL-II measures and other tests and instructional methods described and referenced in the Revised PAL-II Math User Guide.

The Revised User Guide is available via Mimeo (see link on the right on this page); the PAL-II test kit is available on this page above.

Benefits

  • Introduces novel quantitative and spatial working memory tasks associated with math computation skills.
  • Aligns with the National Mathematics Advisory Panel and the National Research Council recommendations.
  • Provides evidence-based diagnostics for dyscalculia.
  • Guides early identification/intervention planning by customizing evaluations.
  • Provides brief application and interpretation based on referral concern or as follow up to earlier assessment.
  • Recommends resources and types of interventions based on the assessment results.

PAL Intervention Materials

The integrated PAL tools provide a systematic approach for assessing a child’s strengths and weaknesses in reading and writing and implementing necessary intervention and instruction.

Benefits

  • Link intervention strategies to PAL-II Reading and Writing results.
  • Get creative approaches to form functional reading and writing intervention programs.
  • Access strategies developed through the author’s reading and writing research and 25 years of clinical and teaching experience.
  • Design effective IEPs.
  • Useful in the classroom, special education, or in clinical settings.

Features

The PAL Intervention Materials include a series of resources for reading and writing including handwriting so that teams can intervene early! With practical guidance grounded in research, the PAL Intervention materials can be accessed via Mimeo: https://marketplace.mimeo.com/pearsonPAL

  • Guides for Intervention: Reading & Writing–Revised highlights conceptual foundations of reading, writing, and assessment-to-intervention links and the underlying research. Following these foundations, Part II outlines a step-by-step, detailed approach to designing intervention plans with 10 case examples.
  • Reading and Writing Lessons–Revised includes an instructional manual and a second volume of reproducible materials. Fifteen lesson sets include five sets for Tier 1/early intervention, five sets for Tier 2/curriculum modification, and five sets for Tier 3/tutorials for dyslexia and dysgraphia.
  • Handwriting Lessons–Revised encompasses two sets of 24 lessons, several of which are used in connection with the Reading and Writing Lessons. Each set presents all 26 letters of the English alphabet in two different writing styles. Designed for developing handwriting automaticity.
  • Talking Letters–Revised focuses on spelling-sound and sound-spelling correspondences as well as the alphabetic principle with step-by-step directions to implement intervention. The Desk Guide helps students develop phonological awareness; student teaching materials for consonants and vowels organized by syllable type are included.
