[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What does that mean - "maxed out". [/quote]

It means they met the end of grade level benchmark.

End of second grade benchmark is 28.

End of third grade benchmark is 38.

Of course some kids can read higher than that, but generally schools don't spend time testing kids to their max, just to the end of the grade level benchmark. A lot of FCPS schools will do to the end of the grade above benchmark. A given teacher has to test 18-28 kids in a small window of time. They can't spend time finding the ceiling for every kid. The DRA can take a long time to administer.[/quote]

What is the end of 1st grade benchmark?  DS is 20 according to his teacher.[/quote]

16, but they will test up to 28.[/quote]

Thanks for the information, PP.  Good to know that DS meets the benchmark.[/quote]

If he did not hit the benchmark or if they suspected he was not going to make it by the end of the year, trust me, you would know. Probably around the beginning of the second semester.

I posted earlier about my three. With my oldest, I hardly heard word one about it other than a passing mention at the first quarter parent conference that they had met the benchmark for the year. With my child who is a slower reader, the concern about the spring DRA was brought up very early in the year and shortly after that pullouts with the reading specialist started.
