[quote=Anonymous]I have twins.  Twin A had a higher score on Map-R at the beginning of third grade by 8 points, but has had a lower instructional reading level all year than Twin B.  Twin B (in a different class) had the higher score at the end of the year.  Their scores at year end were only 3 points apart; assesssed at the same grade level, both very advanced.  Twin B finished the year at an instructional level two quarters (half a school year!) ahead of Twin A.  One of their teachers shared with me that all students in the same classroom who read above the third grade level standard are placed in the same reading group.  That means that the abilities of the group as a whole determines the instructional level.  This is why you can have two third graders who both read at an eighth grade level, but one's instructional level is R and the other's is T.  Instructional level is not customized for each individual student; it's the instructional level for your child's [i]reading group.[/i][/quote]
