Folks,
My 3rd grader is again due to be run through a COGAT this spring. Last year as a 2nd grader the bubble response form drove her nuts....by her account she worried herself to distraction over getting the correct answer into the correct bubble. It got even more complicated as she wanted to go back and check her work for correctness....
Yesterday she had a very good question: "Why can't I just mark the answer in the book?" From perusing the riverside publishing website it looks like some of the COGAT materials are available in a "write your response in the booklet" format, while others aren't.
There aren't many kids actually taking the test, the books aren't expensive... What might you-all expect to be my district's argument AGAINST changing to the non-bubble exam or to allowing kids to work in the booklet and then transfer their responses to the bubble form?
Thanks,
