[quote=Anonymous]Yup no good information from these, and they take forever. My first grader came home saying that "the computers were down in the entire county" so they had to wait to take their test until later in the afternoon. Yes that is frequently the way tech works in schools. Also he said the way they tested sight words is by having a word on the screen with three "bubbles" underneath it. When you touch a bubble the computer says a word. The kids have to match the written word with the spoken one. This just doesn't tell you if the kid actually knows the sight word but merely if he can identify it in a field of three. These are two very different skills and identifying a word/ letter in a field of three is something we write on IEP for very young kids who struggle with recall because it is a precursor to recall. How the teachers are getting good info from that I have no idea!!![/quote]
