Short passages

by rita

Mar 28, 2009

I'm looking for a source for short, non-fiction reading passaages (around 200 words each). Preferrably a website but books are okay too. Any suggestions?

Reading Specialist Test

by K/MA

Apr 1, 2009

I will be taking the Reading Specialist MTEL in May, I know the Praxis is similar. Anyone have any tips for these tests? Any books to study or websites? I know a lot about teaching kids reading, but I just hope I'm not missing anything and should study it.

MAP assessment or other online assessment

by Heather

Apr 1, 2009

We are looking for a benchmark assessment to do with 2nd grade on up for RtI. We are currently are looking at AIMs Web and the MAP, Measures of Academic Progress. Does anyone use this? Any other ideas for us to look at? We do the DIBELS with the K-2, but we would like something more comprehensive with the older kids.

It is beautifully ill...See More

Adrienne I received my training at Bowman Educational Services. I highly recommend this location, although the trainings are longer than 30 hours.

Will someone please please explain this Read 180 score to me

by wondering parent

Apr 14, 2009

My 14 yr old frosh son is in spec ed, doing Read 180. His score is baseline scores a lexile of 512, which means the lexile range is 412 - 562.

What does this mean in terms of what grade level he reads? Where is his comprehension?

Thanks in advance! Frustrated!
