Complete Linguistic Profile
LAS Links Español is a research-based assessment that measures the speaking, listening, reading, writing, and comprehension skills of K-12 Spanish-speaking students. These assessments help you identify language difficulties a student may have in Spanish as well as track and monitor progress in attaining Spanish language proficiency. When combined with the English version of LAS Links, it provides a complete linguistic profile of a multilingual student.

Test Formats
Test formats include multiple-choice and performance-based questions to address a wide range of language skills across all four language domains. Theme-based language tests cover subjects such as mathematics, science and technology, reading/language arts, and social studies to better evaluate student understanding of both academic and social language.

Test Administration
Test administration and scoring is easy and efficient with the LAS Links Español paper/pencil version. The student books contain all four skill areas—reading, writing, speaking, and listening, greatly simplifying paper/pencil test administration.

Comprehensive Data to Target Instruction
You can use comprehensive data to target instruction for each student throughout the school-year to help accelerate progress toward language proficiency. LAS Links Español provides a true linguistic profile, enabling you to develop distinct language proficiency learning paths to more quickly close students’ proficiency and achievement gaps and to accurately place them in or out of English Language Learner and bilingual programs.
