Not the OP, but it’s in the VDOE website, easy enough to Google

This isn’t adaptive. The students will respond to a writing prompt.

Ugh 5th grade parent here. I haven't heard anything about this new version. My child will struggle even worse. Child is Dyslexic but managed to pass reading last year, I doubt they be able to pass the writing piece. This is unfair to spring this so late. I know my child doesn't have to pass but they will feel bad if they don't pass..

Thank you very much!

I have a 5th grader and haven't heard anything about this. But I'm all for incorporating writing into SOLS! Maybe they'll teach it better this way.

Could not find anything from FCPS but since SOLs are statewide it's fine from another county. SOLs are not by county but by state.

I am a 5th grade parent and I don’t care.

What does "count" mean in this context? I thought SOLs didn't matter for individual students.

This is statewide. It's 5th grade only, they are integrating writing into the test. I don't know what information if any of the state has even rolled out. Many people don't know about this. This would be all 5th graders in the state.

I hadn't heard this. How did you find this out? What ES?

There's a new SOL for 5th graders? No, I haven't heard about it.

Have you received any information about the new SOL for reading? It's an integrated reading and writing test. So far I have heard nothing and was wondering if that was the way it was at the other schools. I'm not sure if this is a pilot and the writing grade won't count or if the grade will count.
