


Remove text structure items (1.4.6) from narrative
passages on developed forms of the state

Text structure items (1.4.6) will remain for narrative
passages on developed forms of the state
assessment at grades 7 - HS

expository, technical, and persuasive at grades
5 – HS on new forms.

answer choices in the same item on new forms
Accommodations


Allowed for all students
Updated Accommodations Manual
for 2008
Draft Read-aloud Accommodation

A student’s need for the read-aloud accommodation
must be documented on one of the following plans:





Pre-intervention plan (student improvement plan)
ELL plan
504 plan
IEP
The need for the read-aloud accommodation should
be determined for each individual content area being
assessed. If a student has the read-aloud or any
other accommodation listed on one of these plans,
the student must receive that accommodation on the
state assessment.
Draft Read-aloud Accommodation

All text in the assessments for Science,
History/Government, and Mathematics can be
read. Only the item questions and answer
choices may be read to a student receiving
the read-aloud accommodation on the Kansas
Reading Assessment. Absolutely nothing
from a reading passage on the Kansas
Reading Assessment may be read or
pronounced, including single words.
Draft Read-aloud Accommodation


Only human readers who comply with KSDE
guidelines will provide this accommodation.
No CDs or the KCA audio will be used for the
read-aloud accommodation.
Training materials for human readers will be
provided by KSDE. Local districts must
provide training for human readers providing
the read-aloud accommodation.
