Diagnostic adult learning assessment for beginning readers : [kit] (DALA) / Pat Campbell.
DALA is a user-friendly reading assessment for beginning adult readers. It measures a student's knowledge of environmental print, text functions, print concepts and conventions, letter names, phonemic awareness (beginning sounds and rhymes), high frequency words, phonics, alphabetic principle and literacy practices. The DVD included in the kit demonstrates the use of the tools.
"Very useful for diagnostics, and for establishing a need in students and a starting point for teachers/tutors." – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
"I feel it would be a simplistic way to assess new readers - not intimidating, pictorial and friendly. It also looks practical in everyday life. I will order a set of these resources but have not used them - yet!." – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
"An excellent resource for low level literacy assessment for learners for whom CARA is too difficult. Assesses functional literacy." – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
"It has merit in certain settings. Its not likely to fit with my program at this time." – January 2011 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
