Mission
We are now in the winter testing season, so the library is closed December 4-15
Winter Testing Starts This Week. Please Schedule Your 3rd-9th Grader's MAP Test
Parents of K-3rd Grade Students - Please Plan a day in December to Participate in the mCLASS
Winter benchmark assessments are coming up soon. Periodic assessments are a wonderful way to show you that your instruction is working. It is also a way to see if there are areas to revisit in your child's ELA instruction. Even if you have no concerns about your child’s reading ability, please do consider participating. Our students' scores are evidence that homeschooling works!
Depending on grade level, the following skills may be assessed:
Phonological awareness: Saying the sounds in a spoken word (Example: cat is c/a/t.).
Letter sound identification: Reading a list of nonsense words correctly by sounds or whole words (Example: nif. This can be correctly read as n/i/f or nif.).
Oral reading fluency: Reading a grade level appropriate short passage fluently and accurately.
Reading comprehension: Identifying alternative words for correct context in a short reading passage.
Don't worry if you know your child is not reading at grade level! The scores help your sponsor teacher and our early reading interventionists determine exactly how to support you as a homeschooling parent.
Parents, did you know that our students earn prizes for their successes with Lexia, IXL, and Boost?
As your students accomplish growth, you can expect to receive an email from sponsor teacher, JaNice West, congratulating your student and inviting you to bring them into the office to select a prize and pick up their certificate.
