I find these assessment to be very lengthy and complex for 1st graders' developmental levels. Would you all suggest administering parts of the assessment in multiple days to not overwhelm the students? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Testing can be overwhelming for students at any age. One method that I use for my 5th grade reading students is having them practice taking these longer assessments throughout the unit. I improve students reading stamina by constantly lengthening their assessments so they become more comfortable with them. Throughout the unit we build. They may begin with 1 passage and 10 questions in the beginning of the year. This gradually increasing and when the unit test comes I administer it on different days.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great solution Rated On: March 7, 2016 2:21 am Rated By: Cynthia Juez                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Building together is great!
