The Cued American English Competency Screening-R (CAECS-R ©2002, TECUnit) provides a framework for assessing cue reading skills at the single word level. The CAECS–R may be taken by any individual who wishes to assess his/her basic cue reading skills. In some states, the CAECS-R serves as a prerequisite test for State Level Assessments (also sometimes called a Quality Assurance Screening). A passing score on the CAECS-R is one of the prerequisites to register for the CLT National Certification Examination (CLTNCE). It should be noted that the CAECS-R assesses basic cue reading and does not inform one’s readiness for the voicing sections of the CLTNCE.
