WIDA MODEL for Kindergarten is available only as a paper-based test. WIDA MODEL (Grades 1-12) is available in both online and paper modes. MODEL test items are written to WIDA's five English Language Development (ELD) standards: • Social & Instructional Language • Language of Language Arts • Language of Mathematics • Language of Science • Language of Social Studies Test forms are divided into five grade-level clusters: • Kindergarten • Grades 1–2 • Grades 3–5 • Grades 6–8 • Grades 9–12 Each form assesses the four language domains of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. As an adaptive test, MODEL allows flexible placement within sections of the test, based on student performance. The Listening and Reading domains consist of multiple-choice questions. The Writing and Speaking domains consist of performance tasks administered and scored by local Test Administrators. MODEL can be used to: • Serve as an interim assessment during the school year, providing information that informs instructional planning and other decisions related to students' education • Determine tier placement on ACCESS for ELLs Paper, the annual language proficiency assessment used for accountability purposes • Guide instructional and curricular decisions while waiting for ACCESS for ELLs score reports Some schools use Kindergarten MODEL as an alternative to Kindergarten W-APT for identification or placement of incoming Kindergarten students.

'I think it is worthwhile to set goals with the students and share with them the growth that you see. I talk to them about the assessments we use and always make sure to celebrate the small steps along the way with both the students and their parents. For example, last year we used the WIDA MODEL as part of our on-going writing assessment.

I like to share the results of WIDA MODEL, along with other writing samples I collect throughout the year to show students how much their writing is growing.' Monica Cortada, ESOL Teacher Howard County, Maryland.

Reading Assessment Database - Summary Chart of Early Reading Assessments for PreK-3 The essential cognitive elements of the reading process have been outlined in the. To assist educators in organizing their assessment practices around the cognitive framework, we've created a way to easily search for published early reading assessments that specifically test skills and knowledge outlined by the cognitive framework of reading.

Every published reading assessment appropriate for use in grades preK-3 has been summarized in SEDL's. How to use this page 1) On this page, the reading assessments have been summarized in two tables, depending on whether they are or assessments. 2) Re-sorting the list of assessments by Cognitive Element When you use your mouse to select a framework element (click on the vertical element name) at the top of either table, the assessments are re-ordered such that all of the assessments that can be used to measure development in that cognitive element are clustered at the top of the table. Since no single assessment tests all of the elements outlined in the cognitive framework of reading, this ability to sort tests with a single click of the mouse makes it easy to find complementary assessments that can be combined to provide a more complete profile of a child's reading development with a minimum of redundancy in assessment. 3) Finding out about a particular assessment To view a detailed description of a particular assessment, simply click on the name of the assessment. 4) The Reading Assessment Clipboard: If you would like to keep track of reading assessments that interest you, you can add them to your 'Reading Assessment Clipboard' for later printing. You even have the option to e-mail the details about the assessments to yourself or others.
