    STAR Reading Spanish Pretest Instructions

    Read to Students:

    Spanish

    Van a presentar una prueba llamada STAR Reading Spanish. Es una prueba de lectura con preguntas con espacios en blanco para completar. Deberán contestar 34 preguntas. Para responder todas las preguntas se requieren unos diez minutos.

    No se preocupen si alguien termina primero, ya que cada prueba es diferente. No se preocupen por cuántas preguntas creen haber contestado correctamente o cuántas creen haber contestado mal. Lo más probable es que todos tengan mal algunas de las preguntas. El objetivo principal es que cada uno dé lo mejor de sí mismo.

    English

    You are going to take a test called STAR Reading Spanish. It is a reading test that has fill-in-the-blank questions. You will answer 34 questions. It will take about ten minutes to answer all of the questions.

    Do not worry if someone finishes the test before you because every test is different. Do not worry about how many questions you think you get right, or how many you think you get wrong. Everyone will probably miss some of the questions. The main goal is for you to do the best you can.

    Picture 1 (Imagen 1)

    Spanish

    Cada pregunta de la prueba es una oración a la que le falta una palabra. Habrá una lista de tres o cuatro palabras que podrían completar el espacio en blanco. Su trabajo es elegir la palabra que mejor complete la oración.

    English

    Every test question is a sentence with a word missing. There will be a list of three or four words that could fit in the blank. Your job is to choose the word that best completes the sentence.

    Only students with assigned grades from 1–8 will be allowed to take the test. Please note that in general, only students who have a Spanish reading vocabulary of at least 100 words should take the STAR Reading Spanish test. (In other words, the student should have at least beginning reading skills.) Practically, students who can work through the practice questions unassisted should be able to take the STAR Reading Spanish test.

    Please read the instructions (to your students before they take the STAR Reading Spanish test. Read each section aloud exactly as it is scripted so that students know what to expect at each stage of the test.

    To help your student understand the test format, use pages 7–13 of this document to make handouts.
