The WIDA Language Charts connect WIDA ACCESS test scores to the WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework and make the WIDA Proficiency Level Descriptors clearer, more actionable and directly connected to classroom instruction. Use this spreadsheet version to easily copy and paste information into your own spreadsheet tools, create personalized charts or customize the charts for individual or small groups.
Use the WIDA Language Charts to do the following:
- Share and discuss students’ expressive language (speaking and writing) and interpretive language (listening and reading) development with content teachers, coaches, counselors and administrators.
- Document progress of students’ language development; plan curriculum, instruction and classroom assessment; and invite individual teachers or teams to use information for making grade-level decisions.
- Supplement WIDA ACCESS scores with individual student samples to reveal a more comprehensive portrait of a student’s language development.
