[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my dd was younger, she was stuck on a reading level for a while and I asked the teacher about it.  She said she was good at oral reading and discussing the book, but her reading level was constrained by her writing-- the measure for reading level was based on a written response, and her responses weren't meeting the expectation in various ways (I think it was about not writing enough details, etc though I don't recall exactly).  So it could be that the skills tested in MAP-R aren't the same as the skills for reading-level assignment.  It is a good question to ask at the November conferences, along with what skills you can work on to move her up.[/quote]

Mine, too. She had terrible handwriting issues, and would either run out of time or get frustrated and shorten her written answers. She did much better in class discussions and especially on computerized testing. She's always been in the 99th percentile on MAP tests, and her Lexile levels were high, but I do remember that her teacher-assigned reading levels were lower than we expected in 2nd grade, and maybe 1st, too?  I can't remember for sure when they started using written answers to assess. It took her a while to get the hang of things.[/quote]
