What is LAS Links?

LAS Links is an assessment that students learning the English language are required to take across 4 states: Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, and Texas.

LAS Links assesses the English language proficiency of students who have been identified as English learners (ELs). Assessments are given in four language domains, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. LAS Links evaluates the progress that each English learner makes when becoming proficient in academic English.

Students sometimes struggle because there are limited to no options for practicing the English skills that are tested on the LAS Links test.

Who takes LAS Links?

LAS Links is a requirement for students whose primary language is not English. This often includes ELs whose parents do not speak English and/or may have declined bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) program services.

Each state using LAS Links has different criteria to determine English Learners’ proficiency as well as what is needed to exit out of that state’s English Language program.*

The problem that schools often see is that students are scoring lower than expected on LAS Links and educators are unable to benchmark students to determine readiness.

*To find out more information on exit criteria, please visit your state’s Department of Education site.
