Discontinue button for proctor
My third graders took the fluency test for the first time yesterday and it was very difficult. I had to spread my kids out across three rooms and I was the only proctor. I have several non readers who were completely stuck by the time they reached the passages at the end that had comprehension questions. We were no longer measuring their oral reading fluency, so I'm not understanding why those questions were included. We encouraged our kids to guess so we could move on. My question is, what if they guessed correctly? Their data will be skewed. There should…

Scoring need
Please enter a space when using a hyphen. The student may get the first word correct and the second incorrect. The hyphen with no spaces is marking both words incorrect.

better reading scores
When having students read text have some kind of system that highlights a line at a time and have the student point to the word they are attempting. Students may lose there spot and start reading in a random spot. They may skip over words they don't know and just randomly start up again. That may help the scores to be more accurate. We have been hand testing these kids for years and this year their scores are much different than last years.

painful practice test sign in
When creating practice testing sessions for Kindergarten, don't make the process so time consuming. With a class of 25-30 students it is difficult to type in "growth" 2 times and then click all of the boxes. They don't even know letters or numbers yet. So it takes so long just to sign them in. Maybe make a QR Code they can just snap a picture of and have the teacher set up in her dashboard all the details of what the practice test is for.

Scoring need

More think time
On the test, stop repeating the direction every 3 seconds without prompting. It does not give time to think, and students get frustrated by the constant direction. It throws them off. You have the option to repeat already available. If students need to hear it again, they know to push the speaker button.

Oral Reading Fluency NS
I would love to have access to the data and I support lowering the threshold! I’d rather be able to see the real numbers myself and make a decision/form my instruction, rather than only knowing they don’t meet the threshold expected. It would be very helpful being able to see and go through the data for each student, regardless of if they meet our threshold for benchmark or not.

Let it just be over
When the kids finish the test they want to close the ipad instead of clicking that last blue button then the system doesn't see them as finished. Please fix that. It takes a whole day to see scores then if that isn't caught another whole day.

Benchmark Data
We need the option of printing the passages for the younger students who struggle with tracking on such small font on a screen. It is not appropriate for this age.

Interrupitions too much
During the Dyslexia Screener, only have the instructions read aloud once. The kids are trying to read and when the "read the sentence and find the matching picture" is repeated over and over it throws the kids off and they can't focus on what they are reading

Quick batch print for reading fluency
I've asked this same question every year. Please create a quick batch for both the reading fluency benchmark and progress monitoring reports like you have in the for your other tests. It's not that hard.

Proctor observations
Most of the students find the print of the text as too small so it was hard for them to toggle each word and/or line per paragraph using the cursor.Other factors that affect need for restesting include too soft voice of the student, background noise that interferes with the reception or the novelty of the experience by some newcomers.
