[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a second year principal. I taught K-2nd for 20 years, I was a reading specialist for 5 years. I'm curious, the poster who said that testing doesn't measure decoding....do you use F&P in 2-5th? [/quote] I meant, high stakes (state) testing. Kids who are in grade 5 who score a 2 or a 3 on the PARCC. The feedback we get on PARCC will never say "They scored low because they were unable to read the text". It will say: "Your child may struggle to point out which key facts the author uses to support an idea." or "Your child may have difficulty finding similarities and differences between two texts on the same topic." Which may be true, but the underlying reason isn't that the child doesn't know how key facts support an idea. Just ask the child to read the text out loud and you will see the child has great difficulty reading many of the words.[/quote]
