The assessment measures reading comprehension by asking students to read selected grade-appropriate materials and answer questions based on what they have read. The results present a broad view of students’ reading knowledge, skills, and performance over time.
The Adult Literacy Supplemental Assessment (ALSA) which measures the basic, word-level literacy skills of adults at the lowest literacy levels and the Fluency Addition to NAAL (FAN) measures oral reading fluency.
Enhances understanding of the basic reading skills of the least-literate adults. Identifies relationships between ALSA scores and selected background characteristics of adults. Reports results for appropriate demographic groups (e.g; minorities, ESL adults, prison population).
The long-term trend assessment measures a consistent body of knowledge and skills over an extended period, while the main NAEP undergoes changes periodically to reflect current curricula and emerging standards.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) writing assessment measures how well America’s students can write—one of the most important skills that students acquire and develop during K-12 schooling.
The NAEP long-term trend assessments revealed declining student performance in basic reading skills, particularly for lower-performers across racial/ethnic groups at age 9, and more widespread loss in basic mathematical knowledge among our lower- and higher-performing Black, Hispanic, and White students.
• profile the literacy skills of the nation’s workforce; • compare assessment results from the current study with those from the 1992 NALS; • interpret the findings in light of information-processing skills and strategies, so as to inform curriculum decisions concerning adult education and training; and
NAEP reading achievement-level descriptions present expectations of student performance in relation to a range of text types and text difficulty and in response to a variety of assessment questions intended to elicit different cognitive processes and reading behaviors.
The Basic Reading Skills of America’s Adults In the FAN, the following research questions are addressed: What is the relationship between profi-ciency levels (based on the Prose literacy scale of the main literacy assessment) and basic reading skills (i.e., digit, letter, word, and passage reading)? How do basic
