The Nonsense Word Test

Analyze the mispronounced words, looking for patterns that might provide information about the student’s decoding strengths and weaknesses.   Nonsense words have an important place in learning to master reading.  They help the teacher know for certain that her students are using their skills to read words, not just memorizing.
