Correct Order of Assessing
Do not allow the Reading Benchmark Assessment accessible (keep it locked) UNTIL the student has been given the Dyslexia Screener.
WHY?
Because school districts are not doing it this way and as a teacher, I have to follow their rules. The data is skewed because they are seeing the same questions twice.
IF YOU LOCK the reading screener until the Dyslexia is given, then districts can't mess it up. You guys are the experts and know how it should work.
Also, in OHIO --- any kid that is red then has to have a reading improvement plan written. That would…1 vote -
Login Glitches
Help! My students have not been able to log in to complete their progress monitoring today. At first the website would not load at all and a few hours later, it seemed to be loading; however, no passwords were working even after they were refreshed. Thanks so much for any help you can provide. :-)

Progress Monitoring Dashboard Update
I think it would be beneficial to show the date of the last progress monitoring test on the dashboard. We have to progress monitor every two weeks and we work as a team to do this. Some students have been overlooked because it shows us the green dot, but not the last date.

Pause Button
Is there an option to have a pause button that could be chosen during the test, to ensure that the test saves? I had students stop mid-testing and when they logged back in, it started them over. A pause button could save progress and ensure the student doesn't lose their work.

Typecase Letters
The typecase a and typecase g can be difficult for students to read if they haven't been exposed to them before. This is not the standard formation of these letters. Are there plans to change the font so that these are no longer typecase in stories/questions students are reading?

testing item bank
There needs to be more items in the test bank. Or have 2 test options (i.e pre/post or fall/spring). Our school likes to administer the dyslexia screener twice a year---to have as a pre and post data. This is helpful to see how students are progressing from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. And if the test is exactly the same from kindergarten to 2nd grade, it seems that it would effect the results. ALSO, the dyslexia screener item bank seems to be exactly the same as the benchmarking and progress monitoring pieces....which is also…

Test type on proctor dashboard
Please list which test is in progress on the proctor dashboard. When giving the dyslexia screener only, I had to start a student over. The system then defaulted to Adaptive Oral Reading and I didn't realize it because the test being taken is not listed with the student names for those currently in a test.

Expand to include skills beyond decoding one-syllable words
Expand to include skills beyond decoding one-syllable words so that we can have a better idea of what 2nd and 3rd graders need to work on, and when we look at reports not everyone will be red.

French Resources
FRENCH TEACHER says - Adding foreign language resources for second language learners (as well as immigrating families) would be a great idea. As things stand today (end of 2023), there are limited resources in/for Spanish. A more full service data management, reporting and skills testing platform would include commonly taught languages (uncommonly taught one too).

Visual of Spoken Words
It would be great to have small video box showing someone saying the words, particularly when the skill is to discriminate phonemes like in skit and sit. Sometimes, it's hard to hear the difference resulting in errors.

Larger Text for Oral Reading Fluency
It would be amazing to have the option (or do it for all automatically) for the story text to be larger on the Oral Reading Fluency Progress Monitoring. It is large and readable in the practice but the assessment portion, it is so tiny my kids get lost frequently!!

Allow admin users to see teacher's view
For those of us who train teachers and/or help trouble-shoot when teachers are having issues, it would be great if there was a way for admin users to select a teacher and then be able to "impersonate" or login as that teacher to see what they see. It would help me in providing teachers with instructions on how to fix their issues. Thanks!

Phonics Diagnostic Assessment
It would be nice if NWEA also offered a Phonics Diagnostic Assessment in addition to the Universal Screener.

Family Report for MAP Fluency
MAP Growth provides a Family Report that is a great 1-2 page summary of the information that is pertinent to their student, but I do not see a similar report available for MAP Reading Fluency. Would it be possible to add a Family Report so we are able to share this information with parents and guardians?
I called and asked about this and my case number is 03208311.Thanks,

Passwords and Usernames
If you can please allow teachers to assign usernames and save passwords for students. The usernames are completely random and hard to remember and anytime I create a password it resets and I have to change it again the next time that I login.
