Tests, Quizzes, and Worksheets

All curriculum materials, including test, quizzes, and worksheets, need to be provisioned in accessible formats so that students can use the tools they need in order to interact with them. All of the strategies in the chart below depend on this. See

Quick Guide: Accessibility Guidelines for Preparing Curriculum Materials  for general guidance in creating accessible documents.

Student cannot read questions 

 

Provide the worksheet or quiz in digital format so that the student can use text to speech. Quick Guide: Text to Speech in the Chrome Browser using Read&Write for Google Here are some quick and easy digital formats to use:

  • Worksheets: Use Google Docs

  • Quizzes: Google Forms are compatible with Read&Write. Google Docs are best if you'd like to provide a choice of handwriting or typing in your class

  • Tests: 

    • If the test is already in a PDF format, then students can use Kami's Read Aloud feature instead of Read&Write for Google

    • If you are creating your own test, then Google Doc format is best.

    • If the test is in Performance Matters, then students can use Read&Write for Google

Student cannot retrieve key content vocabulary with ease

 

Provide organizers, word banks, picture vocabulary along with the worksheet or as a study support.
