Well, here's a little update along with a question.
The principal spoke with my husband the other day and let him know that the psychologist doesn't want to use the WIAT or other similar achievement tests. Makes sense that what we need to test him with is some out-of-level test to see just what he knows and is ready to learn. The principal is checking around to see just what the best assessment might be. Any suggestions? Our main concern is that he be assessed for readiness to start 3rd grade math in the fall. The principal wants to test for reading as well.
My concern about using some standardized assessment is that the results won't be processed and back before school starts if they don't test him until early August. They are considering using some "broad based curriculum assessment" that they typically give to a child coming in from another school district.
Anyone have ideas or suggestions for a particular assessment(s)?
