The Test of Written Language – Third Edition (TOWL-3) is an inclusive
assessment measuring several components of written language which are later
combined to form three composite scores Contrived Writing, Spontaneous Writing,
and Overall Writing. The composites are reported as quotients, with average scores
ranging from 90 – 110 with a standard deviation of 15 points. The subtests have an
average range of 8 – 12 with a standard deviation of 3 points.
The Contrived Writing composite measures the smallest units of written
discourse that include spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and word usage.
The Spontaneous Writing composite measures functional writing ability as
related to an actual passage.
The final composite of this assessment, Overall Writing, combines all the
subtests and provides an overall quotient related to writing achievement.
