VOCABULARY


 * Vocabulary**

The tools you need to administer this assessment can be found in the **//Assessing Reading Multiple Measures//** manual (Distributed to IRT's, Special Education Literacy Leaders, Taking Action: RIAL PLT's and participants, as well as media centers where two additional copies were delivered for the professional library in the Fall of 2011. These additional copies were provided through District Improvement) When we know we have a student who struggles with decoding, this modification eliminates the need for decoding, therefore yielding a more accurate VOCABULARY score.
 * The CORE Vocabulary Screening measures how well students know the meaning of grade level vocabulary. This is done silently and independently.**
 * (unless you are administering the modified screening, directions for this can be found below)**
 * Please note, that an acceptable modification for the Vocabulary Screening is to read the assessment out loud.
 * For directions on administering the modified vocabulary screening, please download the following:**
