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.
