Remote Assessment of Learning (ReAL) Toolkit

ReAL is a toolkit for assessing children’s literacy, numeracy and social and emotional learning outcomes remotely. This tool is for remote use where enumerators can’t assess children in person. It can be administered by smartphone or regular mobile, depending on the context, and there are three different adaptations (High Access, Low Access, Caregiver) dependent on what materials (stimuli), and type of phone the parents/caregivers have access to.

The High Access administration guidance has been revised based on results from a cross-country validation study in six countries: Cambodia, Mozambique, Niger, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Philippines, and Sudan. A separate validation study for the Caregiver Report version was conducted in El Salvador, revisions forthcoming.The psychometric results of these validation studies can be found in the technical report. Additional testing and revisions will be conducted in 2025. If you plan to use this administration guidance, please contact learningassessment@savechildren.org for guidance.
