Below are Spanish versions of the standard reference sheet for EL students. NOTE: grades 3 and 4 do not have a standard mathematics reference sheet so a Spanish reference sheet is not provided.
The approved graphic organizers, checklists, and supplemental reference sheets listed below are for use by students with disabilities in grades 3-8 who have the Pre-approved Graphic Organizer or Supplemental Reference Sheet accommodation listed in their IEP or 504 Plan. RIDE encourages educators to use these tools during instruction throughout the school year so students will be comfortable using them during RICAS testing.
NOTE about using approved graphic organizers and reference sheets during testing and instruction: These graphic organizers and reference sheets may be helpful to students without disabilities. Educators may use these graphic organizers and reference sheets during instruction for all students, not just students with disabilities. However, students without the appropriate accommodation(s) in their IEP or 504 Plan may not use the graphic organizers or reference sheets during RICAS testing. Educators should not feel the need to incorporate these graphic organizers or reference sheets into their instruction if they have others they use or feel these are not appropriate for their students.
The following list includes all graphic organizers allowable on the RICAS ELA tests.
The following list contains the Supplemental Reference Sheets allowed for use on the RICAS Math tests. These Supplemental Reference Sheets can be used alone or with the Standard Reference Sheet for that grade level. Information may be removed from the Supplemental Reference Sheet but not added. Multiplication Tables must remain blank and the student must fill them in by themselves during testing.
NOTE: The Accommodations and Accessibility Manual is posted under the first tab. Below are important additional materials and resources on accommodations needed for the PSAT 10 and SAT.
