swift the bird
Middle school students dislike Swift the bird immensely because she has an attitude and never understands when they say I AM READY.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

MAP Reading Fluency Integrated with app
It would be wonderful to have MAP Reading Fluency on the same app as NWEA MAP Growth. It would alleviate intense student and teacher confusion on which one they needed to be accessing, given Math is on the app for ALL grade levels, but reading switches.

Line Reader Function
We are interested in adding a line reader function to the MAP Fluency assessments, similar to what is available for MAP Growth.

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.

Control for sensitivity
There is a delay from when a child selects an answer to when the screen moves to the next item. Students interpret that delay as "I need to click again." and they are being advanced through one or more items because of their repeat clicking.

Submit button
You need to add a submit button after each question. Many. many times my students accidentally click on the wrong answer because they were using their mouse to read each answer. This happens on all of the tests.

Student testing progress
It would really be nice to see where students are at in the fluency process like we do with the Map Growth screeners.
