Acccording to page 4 of the Arkansas NRS guidelines: Other assessments, such as the Wide Range Achievement Test, Slosson Oral Reading Test, and Jordan Oral Screening Test, among others, may be given to help inform instruction; however they may not be used to place a student in an EFL or to determine educational gain or EFL advancement. ----- Original Message ----- From: Debbie Yoho To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 11:43 AM Subject: [NIFL-ASSESSMENT:802] RE: Questions about CASAS Dear Friends: I need to know, quickly, about the use of the Slosson Oral Reading Test in programs that get WIA funding. Are there states who accept the Slosson as a viable assessment for NRS purposes, and are there any that have specifically rejected it and do not accept it for NRS purposes? Many thanks.
