Help with Native
Language Literacy

The New York State Education Department unveiled a new Native Language
Literacy Screening Device (NLLSD) this fall to help practitioners assess the
native language literacy levels of learners. Information gleaned can assist
with placement and instructional design to meet learners' needs. The NLLSD
contains 27 language versions of the screening device. An administrative
protocol that offers suggestions both for using the device and interpreting
its results also is included. A limited number are available free and
additional copies sell for $15.00 plus shipping. Contact 1-877-212-8024.

Dear Nancy:

I am interested to know if this assessment tool for native language literacy
is only for adults or if it includes children as well.  I am particularly
interested in preschool children.  Thanks for your reply.
