The Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE) is a nationally normed measure of word reading accuracy and fluency. The test contains two subtests: the Sight Word Efficiency (SWE) subtest and the Phonetic Decoding Efficiency (PDE) subtest. The Sight Word Efficiency subtest involves presenting the respondent with a list of real printed words. The respondent must accurately read and pronounce as many words as possible in 45 seconds. The Phonetic Decoding Efficiency subtest involves presenting a list of printed non-words. The respondent must accurately decode and pronounce as many words as possible in 45 seconds. The examiner scores each item as it is being pronounced. The Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE) is a proprietary protocol and administration requires a licensing agreement from Pro-Ed, Incorporated. In order for this assessment to be considered valid, the investigator should make sure that the respondent speaks English as a first language.
