STAMP

STAMP is an online test designed to find out what students can do with a 
foreign language.  In Riverdale School our eighth graders take the STAMP 
test in late May or early June.  They are assessed in the areas of reading 
and speaking.  The reading test measures how well a student comprehends texts 
written by native speakers, and the speaking test measures how well a student 
can speak about everyday situations.

We prepare for the STAMP test during the third period cycle classes.  
Some eighth graders have this during the third marking period, and some have 
it during the fourth marking period.  We will be using a program called 
Classpak to help us prepare.  This program provides us with sample test items.

Besides practicing during cycle class, students may also continue to practice 
on their own online.  In order to do this independently, students need to do 
the following. In cycle class I will provide you with the information to 
accomplish this.

Fill in the Student Login ID.  Students receive this ID number in cycle 
class.
