[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it tests one aspect of reading and it's very useful but not comprehensive.

I have one kid who was in an HCG and MS magnet and as poster stated above, she started to plateau above 240.

My other child has language based learning disabilities and, although he scores in the high 240s or low 250s and has done so since 4th grade, has other reading issues that make it a challenge.

All that to say, it's just one measure.[/quote]

If you look at the NWEA 2011 RIT scale Norms publication, you can find the Percentile Rank Conversion by RIT score as well as a table listing the mean growth in RIT scores from one year to the next.  The latter does seem to indicate that RIT scores grow quite dramatically in the earlier grades (e.g. 14 from grade 2 to grade 3) and much more slowly in the higher grades ( e.g. 4.9 from grade 6 to grade 7 and 3 from grade 8 to grade 9 and 2 from grade 10 to grade 11).  In other words perhaps the plateauing you are noticing is normal given her high RIT score.

My dc's RIT score grew by 4 points from 253 in 5th to 257 in 6 grade.
