Metalinguistic Awareness Inventory allows
educators and parents a look into a learner's self awareness of his or
her literacy development.
From the "reading" and "writing" links
below, it is possible to access a web-based test, which when completed
by the learner, is routed to the educator's e-mail (provided it is placed
in the appropriate field).
Here
are various examples of completed MAI's.
- Jacob, a 55 year
old electronics engineer.
- Ann, a 19 year
old college student.
- Ron, a 17 year
old high school student.
- Edward, a 16
year old high school student.
