[quote=Anonymous]MAP-R is one data point.  I'm not saying she couldn't be higher than a P but I'd ask the reading teacher if your daughter has been given a running record since she started school a few weeks ago.  It would be interesting to see if your daughter picked up where she left off on the spring mClass assessment from 2nd grade.  Don't be afraid to ask for her MAP-R strand scores to see if she scored higher/lower in a given area on MAP-R (Literature, Informational or Vocabulary).  These tests are meant to inform instruction but not too many teachers have been trained on the dozens of reports available on the NWEA MAP testing site. At least by analyzing the strand data you can ensure you focus on any gaps.

In addition, the emphasis this year in grades 3 - 5 is to have all students reading complex, grade-level text.  In other words, text that is rich enough for our students to really sink their teeth into by employing close reading strategies.  If a student is reading complex text above grade-level I'd inquire about more opportunities to participate in texts from the William & Mary and/or Junior Great Books programs. [/quote]
