Why do we MAP test?

- Students test in Reading and Mathematics on a computer taken at the Beginning, Middle, and End of the year.
- Tests are about 1 hour long depending on grade level.
- Reports are provided after each test to show growth, areas of strength, areas to improve, and goals for the year.

How does MAP measure?
MAP Measurement
- Similar to a growth chart, MAP tests measure your student's growth in Math and Reading each year.
- The scale used to measure progress is not feet and inches, but a RIT scale.
- Reports provide scores for each skill area to determine strengths, areas to grow, and overall score.

How can I help my child?
Action Steps
Action 1
1. Use the MAP test results to encourage your child in using a growth mindset!
Is your child strong in literature, but low in informational text? You don't have to be an expert in these areas, but you can help your child to set goals, explore new learning that interests them, and encourage your child to ask his/her teacher for help when needed. We are all on a learning journey!
Action 2
2. Goal setting - Ask your child about his or her MAP goal for the year.
What are some things your child can do to try to reach the goal? Ask your child to talk to his/her teacher to find 1 or 2 focus areas that he/she can work on.
Action 3
3. Encourage your child to read, read, and read.
Research shows the more you read, the better reader you will become. Help your child find text that he or she likes to promote a life-long love of reading.
