School Proctor and MAP Reading Fluency
As a "School Proctor" I should be able to proctor MAP Reading Fluency to any students at my school just like I can proctor other MAP Growth Tests to any students. Since I am not a homeroom teacher, I am not able to proctor MAP Reading Fluency tests and yet I am one of our school's learning support specialists. Because I don't have a class assigned to me, I cannot administer the MAP Reading Fluency Test. I think NWEA should give the same proctoring permissions for ALL tests (Growth and Reading Fluency) with the "School Proctor" permission. This is very…

Oral reading directions
When given a passage on the adaptive oral reading test, students are not given the directions to read it aloud. They are simply told "next I will show you a passage. Do your best reading.". Many of my students read it silently resulting in no score for oral reading rate or accuracy. I suggest the directions be changed to tell the user to read the passage out loud.

On the benchmarks, please gray out the DONE button until a minute or so has passed. Students want to hit it and we end up redoing tests.

There should be some way that the password that was created works immediately. It is very frustrating to know what the student's password is, and it not work.

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?

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.

story format the same for student & teacher
To make it easier to see if students are skipping lines and are having tracking issues, could the teacher screen that shows the miscues be in the same format as the students screen?

Highlighter tool
1st graders are having difficulty tracking long passages on the computer. The Missouri State MAP testing allows students to use different tools when reading. One of the tools is a highlighter tape line. I would recommend this tool.

Reading fluency microphone fix on ipad
If you are using the Reading fluency map on the ipad, make sure your students press "Allow" when the app asks to use the microphone. If they press deny, the proctor will need to go into settings, find the Reading Fluency app settings, and toggle the microphone switch to ON. I would add this to the knowledge base.

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.
