[quote=Anonymous]MAP reports are in ParentVue under Documents (same place as report cards, which are sometimes not under Report Cards [!]). Lexile levels are at the bottom of the MAP report. I'd take both with a grain of salt: to my mind, DC's MAP is too low and Lexile too high. The real question is whether your child can remember what they read; recall plot, facts, and details; understand the path or the supporting details of an argument; think about the motivations of a character; and provide a credible summary of a text they have in front of them. At our school (YMMV) that real work towards that starts in grade 3 and is exercised and expanded in grades 4 and (to a lesser extent) 5. By mid-5 they are interpreting poetry. Lots of learning goes on in these 3 years [/quote]
