I just got a lexile score for my 6th grader. His range was 1526-1676 and his RIT score was 257 (btw this is in MD). It looks like this is pretty good, but what worries me is that he had the exact same score last year in 5th grade. In other words it seems like he is stagnating... How reasonable is it to expect year over year increases at this level? He is a voracious reader and reads (or re-reads if he is particularly fond of a book) probably a book a day (maybe more). He currently is into Enders Game etc. (btw is that appropriate it appears there is a fair amount of violence it these books) Thanks in advance.
It is not reasonable to expect year over year increases at
this level. Your child is testing near the limit of the test. Has your child participated in any of the talent searches? With a MAP score like that, qualifying should be a breeze. Is the school doing appropriate acceleration for your child?
