Understanding the WISC IQ Test

Explaining Dyslexia - Kim and Cindy walk through one of the most commonly used IQ tests, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - 5th Edition. We talk about the various subtests and what they are measuring. We also give examples of how the test works (without using actual items) to help you understand why your student might have done well or struggled on a particular subtest. You will leave with a much deeper understanding of the tool and how to discuss it with adults who work with your student. Have a question? Leave us a comment and we will try to answer it!
