Test Information 

Dear Parents,

 

It is sometimes helpful to understand how your child faired on a test in relationship to his/her peers.  For this reason, I will occasionally post test information for your review.  The school grading scale was distributed at Back-to-School night.  Remember, an "S" or higher means that your child is meeting 2nd grade requirements.

This was the second reading test that the students read to themselves.  It is normal to see a dip in your child's grade once they are reading the tests to themselves.

We are very pleased with how well our students memorize each new weekly list.  In this test, we used words that were spelled using the same concepts we've learned about spelling thus far.  For example, if one of our original spelling words was "wish" (short i), our applied word might be "ship".
