The Language Arts Literacy (LAL) test focuses on a student’s reading and writing knowledge and skills based on the New Jersey CCCS. The LAL score is reported in two content clusters: Reading (standard 3.1) and Writing (standard 3.2). Reading (3.1) Writing (3.2). Grades 3–8. Working with or Interpreting Text. Analyzing and Critiquing Text. Grades 3–5. Expository prompt. Speculative prompt. Grades 6–8. Explanatory prompt. Persuasive prompt. Reading. The Reading cluster of the test requires that students read passages selected from previously published work and respond to related multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. The constructed-response questions are designed to measure a student’s comprehension of the reading selection/passage. Students are required to write their own response using examples and/or information from the reading. In 2012, New Jersey ASK 3–5 tests included three operational reading passages at each grade level. New Jersey ASK 6–8 tests include four operational reading passages per grade level. Reading passages included literature as well as informational or “everyday” reading selections from a wide array of sources and genres. Narrative Reading. Literature written primarily to tell a story. Selections from previously published works. 500–1,000 words in length (approximate). Informational Reading. Nonfiction text written to convey information. Selections from previously published materials. 400–900 words in length approximate). The Reading cluster targets the following skill areas: Working with/Interpreting Text and Analyzing/Critiquing Text. Working with/Interpreting Text involves strategies that interpret or reformulate meaning from text. Recognizing central idea or theme. Recognizing supporting details. Extrapolating information/following directions. Paraphrasing/retelling (vocabulary). Recognizing text organization. Recognizing a purpose for reading” end quote.
