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.
