We don't use our reading series consistently, so I don't want to use benchmarks out of that since the tests correlate with the sections. Another reason I don't like using the tests from the reading series is because they are hard, seriously hard. I know, set high expectations, make the practice harder than the state test, etc. However, all the reading teachers in my building feel the same way. There have been questions we've been stumped by. Last year, my GT kid's highest score on just a unit test, not even a benchmark, was consistently in the 70's.
I have been using the pretest on Study Island, but it's hard when I have kids absent since everyone takes it during our computer time. Besides, I'm kind of a "paper" person. I was thinking about using S.R.A.'s???? If you don't use the benchmarks from the reading series, what do you use?
