The Woodcock-Munoz Language Survey® III (WMLS III) is an individually administered, standardized, norm-referenced assessment that offers an extensive sampling of academic language proficiency, in English and/or Spanish, in the domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The WMLS III includes three forms: two in English and one in Spanish. These are parallel forms of equivalent difficulty; thus, performance on one form can be directly compared to performance on another form to compare skill acquisition across languages or to measure growth within a language.
Through a WMLS III assessment, examiners can determine whether a student is English-or Spanish-language dominant and structure course material accordingly. Examiners can also determine whether additional testing may be necessary, and whether the Batería IV Woodcock-Munoz or Woodcock-Johnson IV would be the most appropriate in order to identify other factors that could be affecting students’ learning.
