## June 2016 Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing the new Test of Integrated Language & Literacy Skills (TILLS)! Since publication, we have identified three errors that need to be corrected in your TILLS Examiners Manual. When you open your TILLS kit, please turn to the following pages in your Examiners Manual and make these corrections: 1. On page 141, in the legend for Figure 4.8.2, change the word “low” to “high,” so it reads, *Quadrant profile for Randy. He is showing high scores on sound/word level abilities.* 2. On page 161, in the Written ExpressionDiscourse (WE-Disc) column, locate the cell that aligns with a Standard Score of 2. This cell should read “48-52” rather than “48.” A corrected version of page 161 can be found on page two of this document. Please feel free to print and place it inside your Examiners Manual. 3. On pages 193 and 194, several values in the Identification Core Composite column have been corrected. Corrected versions of pages 193 and 194 can be found on pages 3 and 4 of this document. Please feel free to print and place them inside your Examiners Manual. If you have questions about any of these corrections, do not hesitate to contact me for further clarification. Sincerely, Sharon Larkin Senior Marketing Manager Brookes Publishing Co.
