MAP Reading study guide

MAP Reading Fluency is a K–5 literacy assessment from NWEA, and it is worth being clear at the outset that it is not a professional certification or licensure exam. There is no candidate registration, no fee, and no credential at the end. The test is taken by students, while the people who typically search for study material are educators, reading specialists, interventionists, and administrators preparing to administer it, interpret its reports, and act on its results. The assessment covers three areas: foundational skills for pre-readers, including phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, and language comprehension; oral reading fluency for emerging readers, meaning reading aloud quickly, accurately, and with expression, plus checks for literal comprehension; and screening that identifies students at risk for dyslexia, developmental language disorder, or other reading difficulties. The MAP Reading study guide has 3 sections and about 976 words.
