We can re-read test directions (NOT test questions) aloud for any test as many times as students need. If a student asks for help on a question, we can suggest: * Read the question quietly, out loud to yourself. * Use your pencil to underline key words in the test question. * Think about what the question is asking you to do. At the beginning of the test we can remind students to complete all items. When they begin to turn in their booklets, we can reread the direction, “…check that you have answered all the questions on each page.” For the Writing test: * We can define single words in the writing prompt (task) in a way that ensures students understand. * We can define any words or phrases on the Writing checklist, as long as we don’t hint or imply how students should write their response. 7 What is allowed during test administration? Smile and make eye contact whenever possible!

Ensure that students are:  Using #2 pencils (the scanner may not be able to read the responses which could effect the student's score)  Using a calculator, not texting  Not sharing their work  Not using unauthorized tools  Not writing on the inner ½ inch of the booklet, by the spine Notice if students:  Are in need of an extra break  Need help navigating the assessment Slide 8
