[quote=Anonymous]This is way less mysterious than MAP makes it sound. “Fictional vocab” = story words. Emotions, dialogue, character actions, plot stuff. “Informational vocab” = real-world words. Science, history, how things work, cause/effect, topic-specific terms. If your kid mainly reads novels, this result is completely predictable. Not concerning. Not a diagnosis. Just exposure. There isn’t some secret list of “informational vocabulary books.” MAP just wants regular nonfiction in the mix: – science and nature books – history / biographies – how-things-work books – kids magazines (Nat Geo Kids, Time for Kids, etc.) MAP rewards kids who read nonfiction consistently. That’s it. Add more nonfiction. Score goes up. No existential crisis required. MAP loves to rebrand common sense and call it data.[/quote]
