Students take an online reading test. The feedback provided to the educator includes a correlation between the standard and the student score. Identification of individual students skill levels that need to be improved, and a class and grade level ranking. [|**http://www.renaissancelearning.com**]//== ==//***Scholastic Reading Inventory-The SRI online test allows students to choose subject matter in which they would like to read about. Passages are then provided according to the choices the student made. Students are to read the passages and then answer comprehension, vocabulary, and inferencing questions regarding each passage. A Lexile score is then assigned each student depending on the percentage of questions answered correctly at each reading level. In my opinion, it is one more assessment available if I am seeking help determining a student’s need. However, I would not use this test as my only means of assessment. The levels are too broad. http://www.scholastic.com/commoncore/common-core-assessments.htm**//== =// Parent Resources: //= ==//***Common Core Real Learning for Real Life-This is an excellent website for Educators to recommend to parents.
