Abstract: The simple view of writing (SVW) and its expansions provide a strong basis for the psychoeducational assessment of written expression and were an influence on the development of the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, 4th Edition (WIAT-4). Consequentially, it is important to determine the degree to which the relationship between components of the SVW and writing tasks within the WIAT-4 conform to expectations from the framework. Regression modeling indicated that transcription and oral language skills explain significant variance in WIAT-4 writing tasks, although writing performance on the WIAT-4 appears largely based on transcription skills. Nevertheless, effects appear to vary based on task type and age group. Implications for the interpretation of the WIAT-4 are discussed.
