Hello Families,
It is hard to believe that 1/3 of the school year is over. We continue to work hard in English Language Development class. We are concentrating on developing vocabulary use both in writing and speaking. ELD class gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their vocabulary and ability to connect ideas. We are working on checking their writing and editing responses.
ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 is right around the corner. ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 is an English language proficiency assessment for Grades K–12. The test is administered every year to help school districts monitor the English language development of students identified as English language learners. ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 measures students’ abilities to understand and produce English used within school settings. The four sections of the test are Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing.
Pennsylvania Department of Education sets a time frame for schools to administer ACCESS for ELLs 2.0. Students will take the four sections of the test beginning January 8, 2019.
Students in Kindergarten take a paper format of the test which engages students with cards, books, and grade-appropriate test items. Students at this grade level take the test individually with a test administrator.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Mrs. Gowman
