The following accommodation may be used by MLs on the SC READY tests:

• Bilingual Dictionary – Students may use a word-to-word bilingual dictionary during the SC READY tests. However, the dictionary must not include any examples, pictures, or definitions. During test administration, MLs may consult only a conventional, published book; printouts of word-to-word lists, whether teacher-made or retrieved from the Internet, are not permitted. The word-to-word dictionary used during testing should be one used by the student for instruction and assessment throughout the school year. (Page 212)

 

The following types of reference materials should not be used during any test administration: teacher made word lists, spelling lists or books, wall lists, and other alternative types of reference books. Computerized dictionaries and thesauruses are not allowed during testing. (Page 47)
