NOTE: Please ensure that students use the bilingual dictionaries/glossaries regularly during instruction throughout the school year. Bilingual dictionaries should not be given to a student on the day of testing. For approved bilingual dictionaries/glossaries for other state assessments, such as the PSAT10 or SAT School Day, please visit that test's specific web page. As a rule, bilingual dictionaries and glossaries may not contain any pictures, or definitions, or handwritten notes; only word-to-word dictionaries and glossaries are permitted.
Reference Sheets for the Spanish Edition of the Mathematics Test: 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 corresponding Spanish reference sheet is not provided.
Graphic Organizers, Checklists, and Supplemental Reference Sheets. 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. If appropriate, 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.
English Language Arts Pre-Approved Graphic Organizers: The list below includes the graphic organizers allowed for use on the RICAS ELA tests.This list has been updated to include only those graphic organizers applicable to the 2019-20 RICAS ELA tests.
Mathematics Supplemental Reference Sheets: The list below 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.
