Annotation:

This spreadsheet lists assessments that have been used by Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) organizations across Ontario. Our goal was to provide a resource LBS organizations can use to help find and select assessments that will meet the needs of learners. This spreadsheet can also be used by individual LBS organizations to onboard new LBS practitioners.

Assessments are used to ensure that you have the information you need to develop a learning plan with your learners.

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) requires that all LBS learners complete an assessment.

In this spreadsheet you will find the names of various assessments, some information on how to access the assessment including training and costs. You will also find information that will help you make decisions and determine the best fit.

This assessment database is a resource for the guide:
Initial Assessment A Policies and Best Practices Guide for Literacy and Basic Skills

The guide with annotation can be accessed here.

Disclaimer
The information and links in this resource list were updated January 2025. The list was compiled in collaboration with individuals who work in LBS. This is not an exhaustive list. You can use other assessments. These are resources not recommendations, however, they have all been used in LBS. Each organization will need to make a decision about which assessments are the best fit for their learners.
