[quote=Anonymous]BCRs assess reading comprehension.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, what is BCR?

I am the parent of a rising 3rd grader. To the OP, your child will be grouped with kids reading similarly in 2nd grade and will be assessed through MCLASS each quarter (as he likely was this past year). Groupings may change based on each MCLASS assessment based on both written and oral comprehension. (For the first quarter, we got a "reading is (X) for oral comprehension, but (X-1) for written." Can't remember the letters, but written is the ultmate "level" assigned.)

As others have said, up until 3rd grade, everything is "learning to read." But beginning in 3rd grade, it becomes more "reading to learn."

Level P is fantastic for the end of the year for 1st grade. Feel proud of your child! But I do expect it will even out over time. Reading levels do go much beyond P.

You should feel confident that your child will be grouped with other children reading above grade level next year.

Not the PP but a BCR is a "Brief Constructed Response."  My DD just finished third grade.  [b]I believe BCRs are basically paragraph essay answers.[/b]  They practice them a lot as they are also on the MSA standardized tests in third grade.[/quote][/quote]
