Introduction and Task Requirements

PALS español identifies students’ literacy strengths in their native Spanish language in order to accelerate English reading and spelling development. Designed to reflect the stages of Spanish literacy development, PALS español helps teachers distinguish between students who have English oral language delays and those who have actual reading difficulties. PALS español K consists of six required tasks and one optional task. Half of the PALS español K screening is administered individually, while half can be given in groups of five or fewer students.

Summed Scores

Summed Scores are used to determine the students who would benefit from additional instruction. The tables below indicate (1) tasks to use when calculat-ing the Summed Score and (2) the fall and spring Summed Score benchmarks.

If Individual Rhyme Awareness and/or Individual Beginning Sound Awareness tasks were adminis-tered, those scores (not the group scores) should be used to calculate the Summed Score.

If a student’s Summed Score is below the bench-mark, that student should receive additional instruc-tion targeted to his/her specific literacy needs.

Meeting the Summed Score benchmark does not imply that the student is on grade level, only that the student met the level of minimum competency nec-essary to benefit from typical kindergarten classroom literacy instruction.

If a student meets or exceeds the Summed Score benchmark, but he or she achieves specific task scores below the benchmarks, please note that this student has important instructional needs that should be addressed by your classroom instruction. The goal is for students to achieve the maximum possible points.

Administration Notes✓ The goal of this task is to measure what the student truly knows about pho-

nics and spelling. Please do not pre-teach any of these words. Also, please check the classroom environment and remove any of these words that may be displayed (e.g., word walls and bulletin boards).

✓ No more than five students should be assessed at one time.

✓ In this section, you will see letters enclosed in slash marks (e.g., /m/). This notation refers to the sound that is associated with the letters.

✓ During the practice items, help students to focus on the letter sounds by stretching out or repeating the sounds made by the letter enclosed in slash marks.

✓ Do not demonstrate the sounding-out process beyond the su example. You may prompt the student by saying, “¿Qué más oyes? ¿Oyes otros sonidos en la palabra _______?”

✓ If it would help your students, use the word in a simple sentence (e.g., “Su camisa es blanca.”)

✓ Probe any letter formations by asking the student what letter he or she has written or by asking the student to point to the letter he or she meant to write on the alphabet strip. To help with scoring, note the intended letter above the student’s attempt.

Instructions• Tellthestudentthatyouwanthimorhertospellsomewords.First,demon-

strate the procedure by “spelling” a word out loud, on a black board or chart paper. Say, “Vamos a escribir algunas palabras. Yo voy a empezar. La palabra que quiero escribir es su.

Después de la /s/, oigo el sonido /u/, entonces voy a escribir la letra u.”

• Say,“Ahora quiero que tú escribas algunas palabras. Escribe una letra para cada sonido que oyes. Usa las letras en la parte superior de la página si no recuerdas como se escribe una letra. ¿Listo/a?”

Administration Notes✓ Do not pre-teach the words from the COW Word List. Doing so invalidates

the results of the task.

✓ All three subtasks of the COW task must be administered and scored.

InstructionsMemorizing the RhymeStudents must know the rhyme “by heart” before COW is assessed. To ensure that students know the rhyme, use the COW Picture Sheet to teach the rhyme as a whole class activity, in small groups, or individually prior to screening. You may also teach the rhyme at the beginning of individual screening sessions.

• UsingtheCOWPictureSheet,say, “Vamos a aprender una rima. Escucha y mira mientras te enseño la rima que va con estos dibujos.”

Student Packet: Word Recognition in Isolation

Student Summary Sheet

Administration Notes✓ Word Recognition in Isolation is an optional task for kindergarten. However,

if you think your kindergartner has some reading ability, and you are curious to find out how much, the Word Recognition in Isolation task can be admin-istered at your own discretion.

✓ Start with the preprimer list of words. If the student correctly reads 15 or more words on a list, proceed to the next list. Your goal is to find the highest list on which the student can correctly read at least 15 words.

✓ This procedure is untimed, but move through the lists quickly. If the student does not say the word immediately, move on to the next word. Do not allow the student time to stop and “sound out” the word.

✓ Administration options: Ask the student to touch each word on the list, use an index card to show one word at a time on the list, or flash the individual words quickly on flash cards.

Instructions• Introducethetask:“Aquí tienes una lista de palabras. Trata de leer cada

palabra. Si no conoces una palabra, pasaremos a la próxima. ¿Listo(a)?”
