Adaptive for ALL grades
We would love to have the test be adaptive for ALL grades to determine foundational skill deficits. Students in the upper grades cannot adapt down to foundational skills unless explicitly assigned the foundational skills benchmark but when determining the needs of students we would like to be able to see them move in either direction, based on their needs.

sounds
On the part where the kids are listening for a sound and having to choose the letters or put letters in a box, it might be helpful if they have a mouth saying it so they can differentiate the sounds by using the mouth. This will help our speech kids.

Appropriate Font and Spacing for Grade Level
First grade NWEA Passages need to be more developmentally appropriate size and spacing. The passages 1st graders are looking at are the same size and spacing parameters as the ones that 3rd graders are reading. Can 1st grade assessments have larger font and wider spacing so students can track correctly?

Dyslexia Screener WITH Passages option
I wish there was a version of the Dyslexia Screener that also included Oral Reading Fluency. This would be especially helpful for grades 2 and 3. These students need a dyslexia screener (by law). Obviously, teachers can assign the Passages only, but this requires students to log in a second time. I would prefer students being able to go straight in to the second assessment.

usability
On NWEA Growth, students are allowed to click each answer choice and then click the arrow when they're ready to move on. On MAP Reading Fluency, once they click an answer, it moves them on. This is a hard adjustment for young learners (k-1) especially since we teach them to click on every answer to hear the choices on growth.

Different font for stories
For lower elementary the capital I and lowercase l look the same. Can you use a different font, so we know that the issue is with phonics/phonemic awareness.

Multi-term individual student report on one page
We need an individual student report that shows one student's scores from both benchmarks and progress monitoring across multiple terms. Right now, we have to make our own spreadsheets by collecting data from multiple screen views.

Teacher Dashboard Support
It would be helpful on the teacher dashboard to have teachers made aware of issues with the Oral Reading. Maybe have a flag so the teacher knows they need to tell the student to speak louder, softer, or to make sure they're reading so they don't receive a no score. It is frustrating to go through the process and have to wait until the next day to find out the student needs to be tested again.

Reading Fluency ability to work with mic
In the Reading fluency, ew have several devices in which the app gets stuck and something we have never been able to manage is for the device to hear the students saying "i am ready" at the beginning no matter how loud they speak. We usually endup unplugging the headphone and speaking directly into the iPad's mic.
Does anybody else have these repeated issues?3 votes -
Add percentiles
Please add the Status Percentiles dotted lines to the progress monitoring phonological awareness & Phonics/Word Recognition; ike you have available to select for Oral reading
Also possibly add the percentile to show up as well when you hover the mouse arrow over the dot, so it shows domain score & percentile of that exact test. Also list or add a column to include the percentiles next to domain score that appear under the progress monitoring test details. Those changes would be That would be SO HELPFUL.4 votes -
Oral Reading Fluency
Please take the green done button off of the Oral Reading Fluency passages for the first minute. This will encourage students to read for at least a minute so their score can count.

playback feature worked, but not for every student
Ohio Connections Academy: We found that the playback feature worked, but not for every student. There were many instances that the microphone did not pick up the student's voice with enough clarity to accurately complete the hand scoring and often teachers were completing an additional 1:1 reading diagnostic to get a better understand of the student's reading levels.
The teachers loved the reporting aspect of the reading fluency and the breakdown of the foundation skills, however for most students, teachers were completing the reading fluency benchmark along with another 1:1 reading diagnostic to fully understand the student's reading level.

Progress monitoring reports
The progress monitoring is not very helpful if we cannot tell what level the students have progressed to to see if they are on track. The domain score just shows us the points the kids go up, but there is very little useful data for the progress monitoring. It could be a great tool if we could get a comprehensive report like with the benchmark and screeners.

Term by Term Growth Comparison
I would really like to be able to see a simple term over term comparison of the Foundational Skills with Dyslexia screener without having to toggle between 2 reports. Some of the other MAP NEWEA tests have line graphs showing growth --- something like that to help easily communicate results with our parents.

Manual Scoring of Passages
When the scoring engine doesn't score an oral reading fluency passage, I have to go back and hand score a LARGE number of tests. This is not time productive. It would be helpful if we could instead enter these manually to get the graphs and comparison data until students are better able to fluently read. (This would require a library of all the passages and comprehension questions.)

Phonics Subskill Scores in Data Export
Our teachers really value the Phon. Awareness and Phonics subskill raw scores at the bottom of the individual student report (e.g. "Decoding: CVC, 10/11"). It would be amazing for each of those subskill raw scores to also be included in the data export so we can analyze trends in those granular subskills at aggregated levels (class, grade, etc.) beyond just individual by individual. Can fields be added to the data export so we can access those scores for multiple students at once? Thank you.

Class View of Progress Monitoring Reports
It would be helpful to have an entire class view of domain scores for phonological awareness, phonics recognition and oral reading fluency rates, accuracy and comprehension. It is very cumbersome to go into each individual report to get scores. Seeing an entire class view would allow teachers to potentially use this information to form small groups.
