HOW TO MANAGE LINUS 2.0 SCREENING

CONCEPT A tool to retrieve data on pupils English language literacy level The screening does NOT carry high stakes should not push for 100% passes Data should be used to help teachers identify literacy issues and the instrument format should not be used to teach or train the pupils. Two instruments Reading Writing Administered by the teacher In the classroom / Suitable environment During lessons / suitable time Teachers MUST refer to the manual when administering the reading instrument and when marking the writing instrument.

READING 12 constructs One-on-one / face-to-face Individual or small groups (not more than 3) Oral responses Administered within the time frame given With guidance

CONCEPT OF INTSTRUMENTS Do not use the instruments to teach pupils because the instrument is just basic and low level lesson If needed the teacher may bring the pupils out of the classroom The teacher must refer to manual before screening The teacher must be trained enough to do the screening Pupils are allowed to repeat answering the construct maximum of three times Teacher can translate to the pupils to their language (if possible ) can contextualized for pupils Teacher may do actions as long as the teacher do not make the sound of the letters. Teacher can help as much as possible for the pupils to understand instructions

READINGConstruct 5 The teacher explains the instrument and shows the pictures Teacher is allowed to guide the pupils to spell the words (segmenting and blending) Teacher goes through the words and pupils show the pictures is acceptable as long as they can point or match to the words. Pupils show their understanding , and not necessarily to say aloud (enough if indirectly)

Construct 9 It is considered mastered if only one word mispronounced . Teacher is not allowed to help the pupils go through the text Pupils have to construct the sentences If the pupils just point to the pictures and read a little bit but they can construct the sentences by their own it is acceptable

Construct 10 Teacher reads and the pupils repeat Pupils point to the correct pictures If the pupils show wrong answer at first, move to the next sentences, then move again to the first one Give a lot of guidance, if the child cannot be taught, do not force, give the name to the GPK, may be something wrong with him or her
