[Assessment] DAR/Reading DiscussionMarie Cora marie.cora at hotspurpartners.comTue Nov 22 14:16:32 EST 2005
Hello everyone, I've been following your interesting discussion regarding testing reading and the DAR. I wanted to call to your attention a couple of resources that you can go to for further discussion on the topics covered in your email exchanges, as well as suggestions of reading assessments. At the ALEWiki (Adult Literacy Education Wiki: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page) go to #4 Assessment Information and click on Discussions. This brings you to 2 resources related to this discussion. The second item there is in fact a summary and the full thread of a Guest Discussion with Rosalind Davidson regarding the ARCS Reading Diagnostic that was held on this Assessment List in April of this year. Below that you will see "Commercial Standardized Tests". Click on that and you go to a page of discussion excerpts (also from this List) on 4 different commercial assessments - you will see DARTTS there. Also at the ALEWiki Assessment Information section, if you click on the area entitled Commercially Available Assessment Tools, you will go to a page that has specific info on various tests (click Test Specifics). For your convenience, the discussions I mentioned above are also found right there on that same page. You will also soon find the summary and full thread of the Guest Discussion with Rosalind on the ARCS at the NIFL Discussion List Guest Speakers Archive http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/list_guests.html. This should be posted at that site in the next few days. If you have any questions, or have difficulty finding any of the resources mentioned above, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks! marie cora Moderator, The National Institute for Literacy Assessment Discussion List, and Coordinator/Developer LINCS Assessment Special Collection at http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ marie.cora at hotspurpartners.com
