What is the name of the assessment designed to measure oral proficiency and reading and writing abilities of K-12 students and available in English and Spanish?

• A. Language Assessment Scales (LAS)
• B. Oral Proficiency Test
• C. Cambridge English Scale
• D. WIDA Assessment

Answer: (A)

The key idea is a bilingual assessment that captures both speaking skills and literacy across two languages for late elementary and middle/high school students. Language Assessment Scales fits this description because it is designed to measure oral proficiency as well as reading and writing abilities for K-12 students, and it is available in English and Spanish, making it suitable for multilingual learners who develop skills in both languages. The other options don’t align as well: an Oral Proficiency Test focuses only on speaking; the Cambridge English Scale and WIDA are English-only assessments and don’t offer bilingual administration across English and Spanish.
