Bilingual Literacy Assessment Generator
Generate dual-language literacy assessments that identify language-specific reading gaps
What You Can Do
You can generate targeted literacy assessment tasks that independently measure bilingual students' reading skills in each language, revealing whether struggles stem from language-specific exposure gaps, vocabulary limitations, or genuine reading disabilities. This skill produces assessment frameworks that account for code-switching as a linguistic strength and provide transparent, family-friendly data you can use to guide intervention decisions and inform IEP meetings.
Features
generate separate tasks for each language to measure phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, and comprehension independently
identify whether reading gaps are language-limited or indicative of underlying reading disabilities
assessments incorporate culturally familiar vocabulary, themes, and contexts relevant to students' backgrounds
frameworks treat multilingual language use as an asset rather than a deficit
assessment results include recommendations for which language(s) to prioritize for literacy instruction
generate accessible summaries you can share with families explaining results in clear, non-clinical language
create quarterly assessment checkpoints for dual-language programs with comparable task difficulty across administration cycles
Example Output
Assessment Task Example (Grade 2 English-Spanish):
Phonological Awareness (Spanish):
- Student listens to: "gato" and identifies the beginning sound /g/
- Student segments "mariposa" into syllables: ma-ri-po-sa
- Result: Student demonstrates grade-level phonological awareness in Spanish
Decoding (English):
- Student reads: "The cat sat on the mat" (sight words + CVC pattern)
- Accuracy: 80% (struggles with "sat")
- Result: English decoding below grade level; recommend Spanish-dominant literacy instruction with English support
Summary for Family: Tulio reads strong in Spanish (77th percentile). In English, he knows high-frequency words but needs practice with short vowel sounds. We'll focus reading time in Spanish while building English skills through daily 15-minute sessions.
