Let me ask another question -- would a score from MAPs or a Lexile score include comprehension? I can't tell you how many times I hear "Just b/c she can read it doesn't mean she can understand it." Gotchya, but I am not giving her War & Peace -- ya know??? I just want to be able to combat that one if it comes up. As long as the books are "content appropriate" this score indicates she should be able to read and understand the texts that fall into this range, correct?
