Spanish MAP Reading Fluency content guide
August 2021
Description
This document presents the test design and specifications for Spanish MAP Reading Fluency, an adaptive assessment that supports students on their path to reading comprehension by assessing and helping to improve both oral reading fluency and foundational reading skills. It is designed for students who do not yet read with solid fluency and understanding and adapts to accommodate pre-readers, early readers, and independent readers in pre-K to grade 4 with the goal of helping all students be able to read with comprehension. Spanish MAP Reading Fluency is designed to support biliteracy programs and emergent bilinguals in multiple educational contexts.

Arguing about the effectiveness of assessments for the classroom
Approaches to test score use and test purpose lack the well-developed methodological guidelines and established sources of evidence available for intended score interpretation. We argue in this paper that this lack fails to reflect the ultimate purpose of a test score—to help solve an important problem faced by intended test users.
This report presents the results of a mode comparability study conducted through simulations to evaluate how scores from MAP Growth administered on the constraint-based engine (CBE) compare to those administered on the current MAP Growth engine known as COLO.
