Literacy Basics - Community Literacy of Ontario

Resources

As we stated at the beginning of this module, it is intended to be an introduction to assessment, not a comprehensive how-to manual. There are many, many resources available about assessment. Here are some of the ones we have referred to in this module that relate specifically to LBS programs in Ontario. There are many others; you can find some of them at the Demonstrations Ontario website (http://demonstrations.alphaplus.ca/fairassessmentresources.asp).
