  2. All Spanish-speaking ELL Kindergarteners will be assessed in literacy in both English and Spanish • Spanish-speaking ELLs will take the English Letter Names and English Letter Sounds assessment • Spanish-speakers will also be administered the Spanish syllable sounds assessment • This is required for all Spanish-speaking ELL Kindergarteners Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  3. Preparing for the Spanish Literacy Assessment Assessors need: • Clipboard • Stopwatch/timing device • Pencil • Place marker or cover sheet • Assessor booklet • Student booklet (Spanish/English) • A quiet location Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  4. The Spanish Syllable Sounds Measure • Measures students' ability to recognize and produce common syllable sounds • All Spanish-speaking students participate in the assessment, with accommodations if determined to be necessary for equal access for that individual student • Students are shown syllable combinations in a chart • This is a 60 second timed assessment • Students have 60 seconds to produce as many of the corresponding syllable sounds as they can Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  5. Procedure for the Spanish Syllable Sounds Assessment • Seat yourself across from the student who is also seated • Position yourself so the student cannot see the documents on the clipboard or the stopwatch • Place the Student Copy Spanish Syllable Sounds in front of the student Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  7. Read the directions verbatim to the student • There are also directions for gesturing and using a guide or marker • Start the stopwatch/timing device when the student says the first syllable sound • At 60 seconds mark the last letter with a bracket and then say “Stop” Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  9. Spanish Syllable Sounds—Scoring If student: • is correct, do not mark the letter and count as correct • clearly loses his/her place, point to the next syllable • self corrects, write SC above the syllable and count as correct • says incorrect syllable sound, slash through the syllable, and count as incorrect • hesitates more than 3 seconds, slash through the syllable, supply the syllable sound and count as incorrect • skips syllable, circle the syllable and count as incorrect • Record number of correct syllable sounds in # correct at bottom of assessor copy • Record number of attempts, correct or incorrect, in # attempted Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  10. Providing Encouragement • Avoid providing visual or auditory clues about the correctness of responses during the assessment • It is allowable to say these encouraging words: • “Buen esfuerzo” • “Sigue intentando” • “La siguiente” • “Está bien si tratas de adivinar” • “Gracias” Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  11. Additional Considerations for Spanish Syllable Sounds • If student does not identify a syllable sound in the first row, move to second row. • If the student still does not identify a syllable sound in the second row, the timed fluency assessment can be discontinued. The score will be 0. • At this point, it is best practice to ask the student if he/she recognizes any syllables on the page (remove the guide if used). While this does not contribute to the score, it is still valuable information. • It is important for the student to feel successful. If the student does not identify any syllable sounds, the assessor can provide support by pointing out syllables and offering the sound. Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013

  12. Data Submission • For the fall 2013 collection, districts will submit the Spanish Syllable Sounds number correct and the number attempted for each student • Data will be submitted through ODE’s Consolidated Collections Oregon Kindergarten Assessment Fall 2013
