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.

Student log in improvement
Currently, the Reading Dyslexia testing requires students to log in using their unique NWEA credentials. Reading Dyslexia is given to our Kindergartners through second grade students. Since NWEA credentials need to be unique across all of NWEA, we have set user names as the email addresses for our students. We use the student first name, dot, last name @ our school district. org. Thus, we have Kindergartners who would need to enter something like: Nicklause.CampbellRichardson@capeelizabethschools.org in order to just start the test. If the kindergartner can type all of that....
There should be a way for the teacher to set…

Add an enter button before submitting phonics test questions
When students are entering the graphemes to spell a word, they sometimes try out different combinations. When they put in the third grapheme, the system automatically submits the spelling. Could there be a submit button so they can self check their spelling first?

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.

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.

Simplify student login process on iPads
Simplify iPad student login process using QR codes - this would be much simpler than guiding 5 and 6-year-old students to enter usernames and passwords.

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.

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.

test length
It would be nice if the test was divided into 2 parts. It is pretty lengthy for kindergarten and 1st grade students to complete in one sitting. I know you can pause the test, but that would not be as easy as just having the test already petitioned into 2 parts.

Provide Print Passage Capabilities
We would like to request the ability to print passages so that students could have a print copy. This would be helpful for students in kindergarten (as well as other grades) as they are using finger pointing to aid in their reading.

Prompt for Students to Read
Can there be a clear prompt for students before they have to read so they know to read aloud?

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.

Tutorial about mistakes
At the end of the benchmark and or progress monitoring it always says Great Work! Sensational! It would be great to have a tutorial of the missed questions. This would be a great teaching tool and immediate feedback. It would be better than making them think they got all of the questions.
correct when they didn't. When students see Great Work! They think they did everything correctly. Since the same words are being used, they are making the same mistakes over and over again.3 votes -
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.

Visual Tracker on ORF
Include some sort of visual tracker for students to use while they are reading to help them keep their spot. This is available for MAPS Growth Reading, would like to see it available in MAPS fluency as well.

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.
