The following guidelines are provided if the IEP team identifies
using a scribe as an accommodation:
| When using a scribe for a
writing subtest, Steps 1-5 must be followed. |
- Have student orally say how he or she wants the sentence to
read, completing the full sentence
- After student has completed the sentence, paragraph, or passage
(this depends on the individual student ability and need to retain
thought process) have student spell key words (e.g. nouns, verbs,
etc.) in the sentence
- The scribe should record verbatim the words, punctuation, and
spelling provided by the student
- After the student has spelled the words, the student may look
at the writing and complete the punctuation. The student may make
additional spelling corrections while completing the punctuation
process.
- Allow student to review and approve what scribe has written
|
| When using a scribe for extended responses
in reading and math subtests steps 2-4 (above) do not apply. Spelling
and punctuation are not scored in reading and math. |
- Have student orally say how he or she wants the sentence to
read, completing the full sentence
- Allow student to review and approve what scribe has written
