K-2  Vocabulary  Spelling (grade 2 only)  Target Passage  Reading or Listening Comprehension Questions correct 3-12  RC = Reading Comprehension  Maze  Word Analysis 6

 Median percentile ranking for vocabulary & spelling with ‘n’ tested based on entire FL population  % of students reading at or above the ‘target’ (i.e. grade-level) passage with ‘n’ tested based on school  Total Question Correct = raw number of questions answered correctly given there are five comprehension questions (mixed literal & inferential) per passage 7

 RC = Reading Comprehension  Maze  Word Analysis  RC – For AP1, the receives a passage based on one of the following  Grade-level & prior FCAT (if available)  Mean FCAT score for school  No less than 1 or more than 4 passages given  For AP 2 & 3 - based on FSP  MAZE – Non-adaptive – based solely on grade level  WA – adaptive – Starts with predetermined set of 5 words based on grade level. Performance here determined next set of words – 5-30 words given at each assessment 8

 One to four passages timed with reporting categories for FCAT 2.0 and other information  Percentile Rank (PR)  Ability Score (RCAS)  Ability Range (AR)  Percentile Ranks - derived scores that are used to rank one student’s performance in relation to a specific group (i.e. students in the same grade level)… the specified group = ‘a representative sample of Florida students at the same grade level as the student’ -- NOT a percentage score identifying how many items were answered correctly. 9

 Two 3-minute (grade level) passages  Administered 3 times a year  Students respond to embedded cloze items within a piece of (grade- level) text  Assess text reading efficiency (i.e. accuracy and speed, ‘gist-level’ comprehension  When & Who Gets MAZE Tasks? AP 1 – Students with FSP 84% or lower AP2- FSP lower than 85% or took the MAZE on AP 1 AP3- Same as above AND all students grades 6-12 rostered in PMRN for FAIR 10

 Percentile Rank  Adjusted Maze  PR- A derived score allowing comparison of raw scores by putting them on a 100 pt scales – Norming population = all FL students taking test  AM – Adjusted for the amount of time and the differences in difficulty of individual passages (to allow for comparison across time) This can be used to compare a student’s performance across assessment periods 11

 A 5-15 minute computer adaptive spelling task that assesses ability to understand letter/sound correspondence  Percentile Rank  Word Analysis Ability Score (WAAS) 12

Instructional Implications with a 100 ft view… PRS (grades K-2) = Probability of reading success … What are the chances, that given adequate and complete instruction, the student will become successful as a reader and therefore eventually, a success at, specifically - FAIR (and FCAT 2.0)? FSP (grades 3-12) = Probability of FCAT success… What are the chances, that given adequate and complete instruction, the students will reach a level 3 (proficient) on FCAT 2.0? 14

 How can we increase the number of K students who move from low listening levels of comprehension to higher numbers?  In first grade, why are students still at the listening level when in fact, we know kindergarten instruction should have them reading?  What students are showing LC and should be RC?  What can be done to increase the rigor so that more students are in RC than LC as the year progresses? 15

 How can we increase the number of students that score at the cut-points between ‘yellow’ & ‘green’?  Are students spending sufficient time in the MAZE to account for the score? Are they being closely monitored as they take the assessments?  What other information is necessary that isn’t available from the BSD & TDI?  What can be done to increase the rigor so that more students are successful as the year progresses? What are the gaps and how do we fill them? 16

 What can you get (as a teacher) from this report?  What task(s) have been mastered as second graders? What has been taught? What hasn’t been taught? In what order should it be taught? 25

 Please log on to your school’s site at the PMRN login screen located at 26 Please take a few minutes to examine all the available options for your viewing as a building administrator. Remember that you can click on a reporting category and rank from high to low score or click on the “name” and use alphabetic ordering…

 Thanks for your attention!  Let your reading coach or me know if you need/want further information regarding the FAIR test or the PMRN.  Great source of information regarding the test: regarding PMRN:
