The Up, And, Out Test is designed to evaluate a student's ability to recognize frequently occurring onsets as an indicator of their word decoding skills. It should only be administered after a comprehensive Whole-to-Part Stage I assessment indicates difficulties in word identification, particularly in decoding. The test involves having students read a series of nonsense words that end with the sounds 'up', 'and', or 'out'. This process helps assess their ability to blend onsets with these endings rather than solely testing letter-sound correspondence.

Up, And & Out Test By James W. Cunningham
Rationale This subtest is an indicator of a student’s ability to recognize frequently occurring onsets (Cunningham et al 1999) in word decoding. It should not be used alone to test a student’s word identification abilities. It should only be given after a complete Whole-to-Part Stage I assessment has been completed and a student’s profile indicates difficulties in the area of word identification, specifically decoding.
Directions for administering • Begin by showing the student the slides with the words up, and, or out. Make sure they can read these three words. Then, explain that the student will be reading words that are nonsense words that all end with up, and, or out. Give the student 3-5 seconds for each word. Write down exactly what the student says. Each word is followed by a black screen in order to give you time to take notes or get the child’s attention. • Ask students to try to read every word on the list. • It is important that the student blends the onset with an ending. The goal is not to see if the child knows letter-sound correspondence, but if the child can use that knowledge to read and unfamiliar word.
