[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bookworm DD8 started the year scoring 85 percentile on Fall MAP and over the year (3 more MAP tests) dropped steadily down until scoring 42 percentile on the last Spring MAP. Is this concerning or normal? She reports nothing unusual about the testing days, sleeps well, no other changes.

School uses a reading curriculum I despise, but I taught phonics at home and she reads chapter books that are above grade level. She reads a lot! They don’t teach spelling at school, but I assume this has nothing to do with the test score, right?[/quote]

Sounds like she needs extra reading help/intervention.[/quote]

We had her do an informal screening last year with a reading specialist. I did this because I learned in kindergarten about the three cueing taught at school and wanted to know if she needed professional help. The reading specialist (not affiliated with school) said there’s no reason to tutor at all and she is above grade level. There doesn’t seem to be an issue with actual reading. That was last year.
