[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading books alone doesn’t help increase MAP scores. My DS reads quite a bit but he isn’t a bookworm and reading isn’t his favorite thing either. But he is above grade level and does well in school but still doesn’t get very high scores in fact sometimes his scores dip. What can we do to increase his scores?[/quote]

What grade is your kid in? Are they old enough and compliant enough to make the test seriously? A low score on a computer test is a positive signal in a K-2 kid. [/quote]

He is in 4th grade. Scores have ranged from 97th in 3rd to 85th in 4th, not sure why his performance is so inconsistent. I do read with him and he does workbooks too. [/quote]
Those scores don’t seem terribly inconsistent. Third grade is when a lot of lower ability readers are catching up to their peers. His drop in percentile may be partially a function of other kids making larger gains. He’s not going to be held back in reading instruction with 86th% MAP-R, but it could impact admission to a humanities magnet program in middle school if he’s in that range in 5th grade.[/quote]
