Our goal is to help you find a starting point in the Language Arts/English curriculum that is challenging, but not too difficult. Your student will complete at least two assessments (possibly several). You will use the scores from these assessments to find placement recommendations.
Language Arts/English Placement Assessments are offered for all grades through middle school and consist of up to three steps:
Explaining the Test to Your Student
It's important that your student understands why he or she is taking the test. Explain that its purpose is to help you choose what your student learns next in Language Arts/English.
The Test Environment
When you give the test, make sure your student is well rested and has adequate time to complete the test in a relaxed way. Give the test in a well-lighted area that is comfortable for your student and free of distractions and interruptions (maybe the dining room or kitchen table).
Test Duration
These assessments are not timed, but you should allow 30-60 minutes to complete each assessment. Your student may take breaks as necessary, but we recommend that you try to complete testing within a three-day period.
Now, give the test.
