[quote=Anonymous]I asked this question years ago and was roasted for trying to improve MAP scores. My kid is now in high school and I feel like there was not much more I could have done. His MAP score is still about the same as it was in 3rd grade. I read to my kids A LOT. I defined words that I thought they wouldn’t know while reading, and sometimes pointed out literary elements like foreshadowing or setting tone. I created a word wall and wrote down some good vocabulary words so they could see them regularly. I had grammar workbooks that they did sparingly unless I sat with them and went over the question together. Before anyone criticizes me for overdoing it, his 3rd grade teacher told me he needed extra tutoring in reading and writing. That being said, he’s doing just fine in school now, even if his MAP isn’t stellar, he got an A in honors English and that matters more. [/quote]
