[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So I'm not sure how FCPS should adjust instruction based on this for advanced kids once they are beyond teaching the basics of reading (besides just having AAP). Maybe it's different for math because math instruction is so sequentially based. But my kid can just choose to read more advanced books and extract more meaning from whatever she reads. It seems much more important to use the test to identify kids who struggle with reading. [/quote] It's still worthwhile to identify kids who are outliers in language arts, because the school might be able to provide some push-in enrichment, pull outs with a higher grade level or with a resource teacher, and reading materials that are appropriate for the child's level. Even if they can't manage any of that, they would at least know that the kid is far ahead and could let the kid read rather than loading the kid with busywork that is intended to develop skills the kid has already mastered.
