Test Of Word Reading Efficiency - Second Edition (TOWRE - 2)
Reading Test
First described byJoseph K Torgesen, Richard Wagner and Carl Rashotte
PurposeTo test the reading accuracy and fluency on pronouncing printed words (Sight Word Efficiency) and Phonemically Regular Non-words (Phonemic Decoding Efficiency)

Test of Word Reading Efficiency Second Edition or commonly known as TOWRE - 2 is a kind of reading test developed to test the efficiency of reading ability of children from age 6–24 years. It generally seeks to measure an individual's accuracy and fluency regarding two efficiencies; Sight Word Efficiency (SWE) and Phonemic Decoding Efficiency (PDE). SWE measures ability of pronouncing words that are printed and PDE assesses the quantity of pronouncing phonemically regular non-words.[1] TOWRE - 2 is a very simple test which can be administered by teachers and aides, and it only takes five minutes to complete the procedure.[2] It is commonly used in reading research, classroom assessment and clinical practice.[3] This test is both straightforward and easy to use because it does not require a lot of materials (i.e. stopwatch, pencil, and stimulus cards) and can be administered by teachers and aides.[4]
