Individual forms are designed around central themes, are graphics intensive, and use developmentally appropriate context and language. Scores from different grade levels are equivalently scaled so that test results obtained from one testing can be compared to those of a later testing, regardless of the grade level. This methodology provides test administrators with a standardized measure of the child's progress, helping to better inform decisions and providing an accurate gauge of the student's improved English language proficiency over time. Reliabilities for all LPTS test forms equal or exceed .85. The LPTS is designed for individual or group administration.
Tests are appropriate for use in placement and evaluation.
A set of alternate forms is available to accommodate a follow-up assessment of students within a grade level. The LPTS can be integrated into all ELL programs including Bilingual, Immersion, Transitional, and Pull-out programs. The company will train your teachers or district staff to score the tests at your location.
