[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do many kids get high 90 in MAP R, especially 99 percent? Tutoring or extra reading? I am shocked that many gets high 90 score? [/quote]
My child just loves to read. Whenever he is at home, he just reads. Or will read in the car while going to activities.
And we go to the library whenever we don't have any plans over the weekend.[/quote]

Ours bounces around in the high 90s (99 in the fall, 96 this past winter) and this is it for us as well. She likes to read, she likes to be read to, it's what she does with her time. We don't do anything conscious to support it.[/quote]

Do kids reading themselves improve writing & comprehension? Jump dump books in front of them to read without parent involvement ? My kids MAP R is in 80 but he loves to read as well. [/quote]

I'd guess that the answer is that dumping books in front of them works for some kids but not others, which is unhelpful but also true of most approaches. I was also a high achiever in reading as a kid without any kind of support other than that I liked to read, so I'm not surprised that my kid turned out the same way, but I'm also sure there are kids who would get nothing out of that.

I will say my daughter's comprehension is great and her writing is so so. Her writing grades are lower than her reading grades and she tends to do the bare minimum when asked to write at school. I think some of that is usual kid rushing through her work issues, and some of it is that she has trouble with expressing herself; her constant reading hasn't changed that at all. [/quote]
I always believe reading more now and writing will come along as they grow older. [/quote]
