Taking Online Spanish Measures
The Spanish measures are part of the Deluxe version of easyCBM. The Spanish measures do not automatically appear in your account when you purchase the Deluxe upgrade. They must be activated by you, with a setting in your account.
To activate the Spanish measures, first login to your account and click on the Admin tab, then go to the Account Management section and click on the System settings link. Now scroll down the page to the section called “Enable Measures and Features.” Click on the box to the left of “Spanish Math” and “Spanish Reading” then click on the “Update Settings” button to enable the Spanish measures.
Once you activate the Spanish literacy measures, you'll have Spanish Syllable Segmenting, Spanish Syllable Sounds, Spanish Word Reading Fluency, and Spanish Sentence Reading Fluency (these last two are both Oral Reading Fluency measures) for the primary grades (K-2). In addition, for grades 2-8, you'll have access to Spanish vocabulary measures (which also assess reading comprehension due to the way they were designed).
For math, there are Spanish translations and read aloud items for all grades. All of the math measures are listed alongside the English ones, in a separate column. So when you scroll down the Measures page, you will find all of the math items (Spanish and English) grouped together.
After your Spanish measures are activated, go to the Measures tab, select a grade, and then scroll down the page. These measures will be found in both the progress monitoring and benchmark assessments. The Spanish reading measures are found at the bottom of the list of Measures (below the Math measures) while the Spanish Math measures exist alongside their English counter-part.
All the math measures are automatically available in Spanish or English language versions. All of the math measures are listed alongside the English ones, in a separate column.
Assign an online tests to a group of students and when they login to their portal, and choose their math test, when they start their test they can choose Spanish as their language which will show the text in Spanish. If they click on the sound button, the question will be read in Spanish.
Both progress monitoring and benchmark tests are embedded with the English tests once the measures have been activated within your account.
