[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve administered this test to over a thousand kids in multiple grade levels. The only time a kids score goes down is I. These circumstances . . . Kid stops caring about school for several months (only common in upper elementary) Student has had interrupted schooling (ie sick or left country and came back) Student rushed or blew off test. In this case their test will be flagged and they will need to retest. If your son/daughters score when down then you and the teacher should be concerned and take action to correct their course quickly. [/quote] I strongly disagree with this. I teach and in my class -- EVERY YEAR since the i-ready has been used, I've seen 90 percent of the kids score lower in the fall than they do in the prior spring and also a good 50 percent have some sort of dip (beginning, middle, end). It's not helpful, but I can't DRA and don't have much time to individually assess, so it is what it is. I tell parents all the time, they might know more about their children's reading ability than me because this test is so flawed.[/quote]
