Abstract:
SABE is a Spanish language achievement test for students in grades 1-8 who are in an educational program in which Spanish is the language of instruction. There are six levels of the test: Level 1 (grade 1); Level 2 (grades 1-2); Level 3 (grades 2-3); Level 4 (grades 3-4); Level 5 (grades 4-6); and Level 6 (grades 6-8). All levels have subtests in reading, math, language, and spelling. Levels 4,5,and 6 also have a subtest in study skills. The test has a multiple choice format and may be either hand or machine scored. It provides norm ranking, as well as information about instructional needs. Statistical links with CTBS and CAT permit comparison with English speaking students. A technical manual with information on norming, reliability and validity is available from the publisher, but is not part of the EAC East collection.
