[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD8 struggled with blends in kindergarten but since that spring has been reading well. She reads chapter books now and I’ve been told she’s reading above grade level, so I was surprised by her lower score on MAP Language Arts. I’m wondering if some of it is that she’s never had to do what the test requires, which as I understand it is reading passages and answering questions. Has anyone else gone through this with their kid? Is it worth supplementing at home, and if so with what?

I know spring scores “matter” in that they are used for future academic placement, so I’m hoping to help her work on this.

My school also did not give any guidance about numerical scores or percentiles, so if anyone has a good resource that explains that specifically by grade level I would love to see it. [/quote]

I assume your DD is in 3rd.  If your school provided no guidance about numerical scores or percentiles, why do you believe her current score is low? Have you sent a message to the teacher asking what is considered on grade level score is for this administration of MAP?  Parent teacher conferences are coming up next month, this is the perfect time to ask any questions about what she is doing well in for ELA and where she is still progressing.[/quote]
