JSJ Junior Member Registered: 05/24/10 Posts: 2	My first grade son (7 years old) just received his NWEA tet scores. Math 187 and Reading 235. Appaently this is one of the highest reading scores ever for the lower grades and the hightest combined score through fifth grade. I have looked at the NWEA site trying to interpret these results but have had little luck... Any suggestions? Also, given these results I am not sure how to approach the (private) school for second grade.

Sounds like he's quite a reader! (Reading norms page 143 Math norms page 155) http://pickens.it.schoolfusion.us/module...8ebc39c6e6bc9c3 These may help with ways to differentiate his reading: http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/ro/Pages/studentlinks/map/reading.htm http://www.foridahoteachers.org/ID%20State%20Learning%20Continuum.pdf
