Dear
Families,
Now that
student-led conferences are finished and you have your child’s MAP results, we
would like to share some information and links with you in order for you to support your child in his/her areas of
need.
For more
information about the overall Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) process:
The following NWEA
Parent Toolkit was created as a resource and guide for parents.
It includes Frequently Asked Questions, Tips for Parents, and a list of web
sites for parents and kids:
We’d also like to provide you with 2
excellent resources for at-home practice. For each, you’ll need to look at your
child’s Student Goal Setting Worksheet, which was shared with you at
conferences.
For reading, look at
your child’s RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012. Use these numbers to
select appropriate activities under each goal area. This website is aligned to
Minnesota standards, so there are some discrepancies in the categorizing. Our
suggestion for finding comprehension activities is to use the overall RIT score
for reading.

For math, look at
your child’s RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012. Use these numbers to
select appropriate activities under each goal area. For example, if your
child’s RIT range for Geometry is 175-190, you would go to the click on the
171-180 and 181-190 links under Geometry and Measurement in order for find
activities at your child’s level. Since Geometry and Measurement are grouped
together, you would be looking for geometry skills, such as shapes.

We know that parent support and
at-home practice are essential for student success. We hope you find these
resources useful. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
