About MAP Reading Fluency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MAP Reading Fluency is a K\u20135 reading assessment designed to be administered three times a year. We recommend testing in the fall, winter, and spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just one class period, MAP Reading Fluency allows a teacher to assess an entire class in both English and Spanish. Objective data shows teachers exactly where their students are in their reading journey so they can differentiate instruction effectively and successfully. MAP Reading Fluency also identifies students showing characteristics of dyslexia, so they can be given the reading support they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using data from the assessment, it automatically places kids in personalized learning pathways that offer targeted microinterventions grounded in the science of reading.
