Screening Spanish Reading

The Screening Spanish Reading tests help to determine the student's reading ability in their native language. Together with other data, it can show whether a student needs reading instruction in their own language, in addition to English language instruction.

There are separate tests for each grade (K through 8) and term (fall, winter, spring) in case you want to test multiple times per year. However, you should not treat it as a growth test.

Each test has 30 questions:

Questions 1–5: Lower difficulty
Questions 6–30: Low and high difficulty, distributed in a randomized sequence
