[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any suggestions on how to strengthen MAP-R scores?  What are they testing besides comprehension/vocab?  What sorts of books would be most helpful?  Any fun apps that might strengthen the kinds of things they test for?  Any other ideas for things we can do at home that are relatively low-effort and fun?  (Not interested in tutoring, forcing her to grind through boring workbooks/practice tests, etc.)

([b]For context, I think my 3rd grader would really benefit from and thrive in ELC in 4th and 5th grade[/b], but her fall MAP-R was around the 80th percentile, although her DIBELS comprehension score was around the 95th.  We're at a medium FARMS school so I think she'd likely only need to be in the 85th-90th percentile range to qualify for ELC, so I'd love to see if there are ways to help give her a little bump.  I know we can request for her to be included even if she's not in the CES lottery pool, but for some school-related reasons I'm nervous about relying on that.)[/quote]

Why do you believe the your 3rd grader would benefit more from ELC than the standard 4th grade curriculum?  Particularly given that the curriculum is new this year and she has MAP scores that while good are lower than those traditionally selected for ELC.[/quote]
