Hi there,

I am excited to share that Literably has released a dashboard toggle that allows you to access their Spanish assessments and Spanish assessment data for your students.

Spanish assessments have been turned on for you and your students. To get started, here is how you can:

• Assign Spanish assessments to students

• View Spanish assessment results

• Model the Spanish assessment(s) for students using the “Log in as Demo Student” button (just like you do for English assessments)

Here is a summary of the similarities and differences between English and Spanish ORF assessments:

	English ORF assessment	Spanish ORF assessment
Assessment levels	K-8	K-8
Average number of texts at each assessment level	8-10	2
Does each assessment level include fiction and nonfiction texts?	Yes	Yes
Is it possible to give students a demo of the assessment process?	Yes	Yes

Thank you!
