[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could also finally acknowledge that the parcc math test is really a reading test with math mixed in.  They treat reading and math scores separately but they are intertwined, especially with how wordy the PARCC is.[/quote]

Schools can opt into read aloud on the Math PARCC for every student, gen and SPED, for that very reason. The computer reads every question.[/quote]

Great in theory.  We found out about the Read Aloud option on our own and asked our admins if our ELL student could use it 2 weeks before PARCC in 2019. We were told no, because the school had not opted into Read Aloud on math. Admins said that they needed to have arranged for Read Aloud several months in advance.

Admins also said that PARCC testing blocks needed to be 30-45 minutes longer to handle Read Aloud, and that kids using it would need to be put in special rooms away from classmates not using it.  Admins said that they didn't have the space or proctors for that (not a Title 1 school), even if we'd asked a few months earlier. Totally hopeless. We wound up keeping our kid home during testing week.[/quote]
