The Winter NWEA MAP testing started last week. This round of testing aids our staff as they work to meet the goals and standards established for each child. A reading fluency test is also being administered to our younger grades.
As a follow-up and comparison to the testing done in the fall, some students' current math and reading levels are being measured to identify who needs additional support to reach grade-level goals. Oral reading assessments are being conducted for some students, as well.
Pre1st through 3rd-grade students are being tested to measure beginning reader skills, like letter and word knowledge. These results provide a better understanding of each child's individual needs and help them progress as readers. To us, it's valuable information! To the students, it seems like fun. Who wouldn't smile when a worm is asking questions?!
If you want to know more about how this assessment looks for your child, go to the Student Resources page: https://studentresources.nwea.org/index.html.
Testing will run through January 20 and results will be sent home a few weeks after the testing period.
