What are the standardized assessments given to my third grader at Meadow Point Elementary?
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) - Given 3 times per year: fall, winter, spring
Assesses Reading Skills
A set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills.
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) - Given 3 times per year: fall, winter, spring
Assesses Reading and Math Skills
MAP dynamically adapts to a student’s responses – as they take the test.
- Answer a question correctly and the test presents a more challenging item
- Miss a question, and MAP offers a simpler item
In this way, the test narrows in on a student’s learning level, engaging them with content that allows them to succeed.
Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA-2) - Given 2 times per year: fall (screener), spring (outcome) Provides teachers with a method for assessing and documenting primary students' development as readers over time. Its purpose is to identify students’ reading level, defined as a text on which students meet specific criteria in terms of accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.

Looking good! I wish I had this class when I was in 3rd Grade. I would be writing software by now.
