PADDI
(Phonemic Awareness Development Diagnostic for Instruction)

The PADDI is a criterion-referenced test that assesses PA skills for instruction, allowing you to meet students they are in the PA sequence. The PADDI-KA has 20 items developed for students in mid-kindergarten through adulthood. The PADDI Foundations is useful with pre-K children and students with very basic skills.

 

The PADDI is not a screener, and it should not be used to determine the risk of dyslexia.

​Want to learn more about the PADDI?

If you are interested in learning more about the PADDI, please join Dr. Ashby and a team of literacy experts for a free webinar hosted by The Reading League, New Hampshire.
