Name the assessment that we learned about that does not assess students, but rather assesses text.
Readability
Which kind of reading assessment is most commonly used for recording student progress in Tier 1 instruction?
CBM
What is the primary consideration when choosing a progress monitoring assessment?
Assessment aligns with instructional goals

Your school has chosen to use MAP as a CBM to monitor students’ reading progress over time, but you recognize that one type of testing will not be sufficient to show students’ abilities. What other assessment or assessments might you give periodically to give evidence for students reading progress AND to help guide your instruction?
Running records/Fluency assessments
DIBELS and Aimsweb are sets of parallel reading passages that students read aloud, and by which they are assessed for reading rate, decoding errors and comprehension. They are used to monitor progress over time. What are these type of assessments called?
Curriculum Based Measures
The type of reading assessment that compares students' reading performance to the performance of students in a national sample group can best be categorized as
norm referenced assessment

When you arrive as a new teacher in your 2nd grade classroom, you get a set of results from the previous year’s Ohio Achievement tests. It indicates that 1/3 of your class is working at the accelerate/advanced stage, 1/3 is proficient and 1/3 is working at the limited or basic stage. How will you use these results? What is your next step?
Use them to develop initial groups for learning, use as a basis for choosing further assessments
Which assessment does not require a specialized test form and can be done whenever a student is reading aloud?
Running Records OR Oral Reading Fluency
What is the kind of reading assessment that uses one of four different systems (for example Guided Reading, Grade Level Equivalents) to assist students to do reading of a range of texts at their instructional level?
Running Records
Matthew is a first grade student. His latest CBM scores determined he is not on track in his reading progress. According to the state of Ohio, what should be the next steps?
RIMP plan, additional assessments to pinpoint difficulties, Tier 2 small group tutoring
Name two types of assessments that teachers are likely to have available to them at the beginning of a school year and which may give them helpful information with regard to their students’ reading abilities.

Plan more robust instruction in the areas of weakness identified on the test.
An oral test that measures the student's ability to segment phonemes.

Running Record, Informal Reading Inventory, CBM, Diagnostic Decoding Survey, Benchmark Assessment: Decoding, MAP Test, Oral Reading Fluency
What is required of the materials used for intervention for students on a RIMP plan?
Must be aligned to the Science of Reading
