Designated Supports

Read Aloud

QA/QT’s are allowed to read the text, item prompts, and answer choices in all content areas when administering alternate assessments. The only exceptions are reading items that address standards involving decoding or word identification, or items where independent reading is required, which are not to be read aloud. Standardized test administration protocols will identify these reading items and need to be followed for all items (with appropriate test security). When providing read-aloud support to a student, other interactions between a QA/QT and a student regarding test questions or content are not allowable and may be treated as a testing impropriety. Read aloud designated support must be provided individually and typically requires a separate setting.
