Just a quick question.. I'm going over the (massive) testing schedule at my son's new charter school, and one of the tests they do is the TPRI (Texas Primary Reading Inventory) to meet the NCLB requirements. His last school used DIBELS. Does anyone have an experience with TPRI? How long it takes, do the kids have to write at all, is comprehension included, that sort of thing.
I am loving that they assess the kids in Reading, Math, Science and Social studies at least twice a year - they use this for placement to be sure the kids are being challenged and learning what they need to learn. I am REALLY hoping this gets DS into the appropriate classes so he's not bored and causing trouble.
(ETA - One of the problems with this last school was that his reading assessment showed he was at >6 grade, but they still gave him the same 2nd grade work as everyone else!)
