About the Book
For use with the Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills(TM) (TILLS(TM)) Examinerâ (TM)s Kit, the Examiner Record Form is used to record and score student responses to all 15 TILLS subtests. This form clearly describes materials needed, start rules, basal and ceiling rules, and information about allowable prompts and repetitions.
One Examiner Record Form is required for each student who takes the TILLS. A pack of 25 forms is included in the TILLS Examinerâ (TM)s Kit, and additional forms can be purchased here. The Record Forms are sold in a pack of 25 and come bundled with a pack of 25 TILLS Student Response Forms.
The TILLS Record Forms are part of the Test of Integrated Language & Literacy Skills(TM) (TILLS(TM)), the groundbreaking assessment professionals need to test listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in students ages 6 --18, and to assess the role of memory in how students perform. Reliable, valid, and comprehensive, TILLS will help you streamline assessment, monitor progress, and reach your ultimate goal: improving students' communication skills so they can succeed in school.
