DD just walked through the door with a "look" on her face. She walked into the kitchen, handed me a sealed envelope from her school, and said "mom did I get in trouble?" She's seen kids with sealed envelopes after they've been sent to the principals office etc.
I opened up the envelope to find her VT Developmental REading Assessment scores from last spring I read the enclosed letter, and say "doesnt look it, these are your test results from last years reading test".
I turn to the page with the results- and TADA! She's so far from being in trouble it isnt funny!
This student- Acheived the Standard with Honors- 38% of her school, 38% of the district, and 46% of the state did this. So I flip it over to see what "the standard with honors means", and this is what it says.
These students successfully read and comprehended tests at a third grade level of difficulty or higher. They also demonstrated fluency in oral reading.
This test was done in April of her 2nd grade year. We've known she was reading above grade level since late in Kindergarten when she began began 1st grade reading in a separate classroom. What I didnt know was that she can test well. Sometimes there is so much hype in these tests that the kids "freeze"...some of my friends use to do great in all the classwork except for testing. Me, I can test well.
I'm so happy for her...all that $$ spent at Boarders, and nights at the Public Library are paying off!!!!
