These samples are meant to give educators and students a general sense of how items are formatted for ISAT All 2009 ISATs will be printed in color This sample book does not cover the entire content of what may be assessed Please refer to the Illinois Assessment Frameworks for complete descriptions of the content to be assessed at each grade level and subject area The Illinois Assessment Frameworks are available online at www.isbe.net/assessment/IAFindex.htm The Student Assessment website contains additional information about state testing (www.isbe.net/assessment) IL09-A2-8SB IL09-A2-8SB Illinois Standards Achievement Test Reading Samples IL09-A2-8SB IL09-A2-8SB 2009 ISAT Grade Sample Book Structure of the Grade Reading ISAT ISAT Reading testing in spring 2009 will consist of 30 norm-referenced items, as well as criterion-referenced items The 30 norm-referenced items are an abbreviated form of the Stanford 10 Reading assessment, developed by Pearson, Inc The criterion-referenced items are all written by Illinois educators and pilot tested with Illinois students Item Formats All items are aligned to the Illinois Reading Assessment Framework, which defines the elements of the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable for state testing Multiple-choice items require students to read and reflect, and then to select the alternative that best expresses what they believe the answer to be A carefully constructed multiple-choice item can assess any of the levels of complexity, from simple procedures to sophisticated concepts Extended-response items require students to demonstrate an understanding of a passage by explaining key ideas using textual evidence and by using this information to draw conclusions or make connections to other situations The extended-response items are scored with a holistic rubric and count as 10% of the scale score of the test Reading Sessions All standard time administration test sessions are a minimum of 45 minutes in length Any student who is still actively engaged in testing when the 45 minutes have elapsed will be allowed up to an additional 10 minutes to complete that test session More details about how to administer this extra time will appear in the ISAT Test Administration Manual This policy does not affect students who already receive extended time as determined by their IEP Reading ISAT Grade Session 45 minutes shorter passages—30 multiple-choice items total Session 45 minutes Two longer passages consisting of: expository passage with 10 multiple-choice items literary passage with 10 multiple-choice items extended-response item Session 45 minutes Two longer passages consisting of: expository passage (or paired passage) with 10 multiple-choice items literary passage (or paired passage) with 10 multiple-choice items extended-response item (Some items will be pilot items.)
