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.

Reading Oral Passages
Would be great if teachers could score oral reading passages as students read to the teachers rather than recording the audio and having to hand score. This would prevent frustration and having to reassess students multiple times.

On Benchmark Matrix Reports - Add: Date of Test, Percentiles and ZPD level Numbers for Phonological Awareness & Phonics
On Benchmark Matrix Reports -
Please provide the following:
List the date of test completion - to easily identify the latest test - when more than one test is administered in one term.
List the ZPD level numbers for Phonological Awareness and Phonics
List the percentiles for Phonological Awareness and Phonics
This additional data will allow us to quickly identify growth in students receiving interventions - so instruction can be adjusted to meet needs.
Thank you!

ORF Benchmark scores on Progress Monitoring page
It would be nice if the Benchmark score was included on the graph. Maybe it could be a different color or a larger circle. That way the teacher and the students could see the progress/comparison with their BOY/MOY/EOY scores and progress monitoring.

Progress bar or percent for teacher to see during testing.
Testing progress bar (or percentage) to show how much of the test the student has completed vs how much left to complete. This would be nice for the teacher to see while testing.

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.

field test
Take out field test every benchmark. Time is valuable in the classroom. Randomly assign a small group or test it in a different way.

Change answer
The section on the dyslexia screener where students have to pick the two pictures that begin with the same sound, does not allow students to change their original selection. I had a kiddo today taking the assessment and he realized the first picture he chose was incorrect. We could not click or drag it back so we could make a new selection. It would be nice if students could finalize their choice or change it when they realize they made a mistake.

More specific phonological and phonics report for each individual student.
Can you provide a report that shows student score/percentage in domain of phonics. The data provided by Benchmark Matrix is too generic. We need more specific data, e.g., what letters, what sounds, about each individual student especially if they are in the yellow or red. It will help to differenciate instruction and meet their specific needs. The generic - Letters & Sounds - doesn't provide any data that I am not aware of.

Fall to Winter Student/Class Comparison Data
We are currently using MAP Fluency three times a year to measure growth in foundational skills. As an administrator, there is no way for me to compare fall to winter scores in order to determine growth for students and/or classes without pulling reports and sorting through one giant report a million times and merging data to figure out which students belong to which teacher. Is there any way under term comparison report to add separate teacher data that can be turned on for admin and district admin?

EASE of USE Fluency scores
Can you make it so that the top categories stay in place like you can freeze in place as you scroll down the page for each student.
Also and or, you may just include this information that appears here for each student and have it appear on the page that opens for them.
It is very frustrating scrolling up and down to figure out what the category is when you have to scroll back to the bottom.

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.)

Print outs of Oral Reading Fluency Stories
It would be helpful to have a resources library of progress monitor probes and comprehension questions. I have several students that do not do well with the online testing that I complete running records on instead.

Ease of use
Your website needs a tab at the get go saying TEST YOUR CLASS. It's very difficult to use to have to click different tabs hoping they get you where you need to just use the assessments! Very frustrating

Timed recording
I think when reading passages, students should NOT be able to click the done button until there is at least 60 seconds of a recording.

Can percentiles be added to individual student reports?

Data Format
I would like to see the 'educator' or 'instructor' name listed as well as the class name so that we could see which teacher directly correlates with each row of data similar to the school profile report.
