Description

Thank you for coming in today to discuss Roberts test scores. Robert took the Florida Standards Assessments. We call it FSA for short. This test is used to measure your child's mastery of content that he will need before entering fourth grade. The FSA tests his English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Writing skills. Today we will just be talking about his English Language Arts score. The FSA scores students with five levels. Level five being mastery and level one being inadequate. Robert scored a four on the English Language Arts Assessment he is on the proficient level. That is great! On the report it states, “Students who score in Level 4 demonstrate proficiency in the Florida Standards for their grade.” He demonstrates 3rd grade level English Language Arts skills. Let’s take a deeper look into his scores. Robert did amazing on the Language and Editing section of the assessment. He earned a scored of 8 out of 8. The Language and Editing section tested his ability to evaluate and correct errors that focus grammar and usage of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. He scored 8 out of 10 on the Key Ideas and Details section. This section tested his ability to describe characters of a story and how their actions contribute to the story, identify the central message, lesson or moral of a story and lastly demonstrate understanding and comprehension by answering text based questions. The Craft and Structure section tested Robert’s ability to determine meanings of words and phrases in a literal and nonliteral way, refer to certain parts of a text, distinguish his own view point from those of the narrator or character. Robert scored a 13 out of 17 on this section. Robert scored a 6 out of 11 on Integration of Knowledge and Ideas. This section tested his ability to compare and contracts the characters, theme, plot and setting of two texts. This was his lowest score. In the classroom I am planning on work on these topics more. I am going to focus on Integration of Knowledge and Ideas. I have found several resources such as comparison charts based on stories. I also have a partner project planned where each student will choose a book to read. They will read at home and during reading time at school. Once they finish their book they will be partnered up and the two students will compare and contrast the characters, plot, setting, and theme of their books. After they will switch books and read each other to see if they agree or disagree with the comparison and contraction they previously made. I believe this will help Robert out tremendously. He will be able to read a story, learn about another and know what he is looking to compare and contrast when he starts reading the next story. Robert did very well on the test. He is on grade level and that is awesome. Compared to the school Robert was in the 14% of his school that scored a 4 on the English Language Arts section of the FSA.
