I was interested in your skill/lexile comparison. From MAP testing at the end of 1st grade, DD7 had a Lexile range of 729-879. I haven't gotten a score yet this year. Hope that helps give you another data point.
I should add that the categories I posited are based on lexile scores of 4th and 5th readers that I know fairly well. I haven't yet seen scores for younger students, thus my focus relative to end of elementary school.
You mention a lexile range. Is that how the MAP reports lexile? The SRI gives a single score. So I guess now I can broaden one of my questions: does MAP lexile equate to SRI lexile equate to AR lexile equate to....
?
Sure wish the norm information was available. It seems to me that norm data would be much more informative than big, broad overlapping grade equivalent bands....
