aReading Standards 5

Question 1

Which scenario best represents a student demonstrating mastery of RL.1 during an aReading assessment?

Accepted Answer

Citing specific lines from a story to support an answer about what happened

Answer

RL.1 requires students to quote or cite textual evidence to support their reading of what a text says explicitly or through inference.

Question 2

A third-grade team reviews aReading progress monitoring data mid-year. Students show growth on RL standards but stagnation on RI standards. What is the most likely instructional implication?

Accepted Answer

Increase exposure to informational texts and explicitly teach nonfiction text features and structures

Answer

When students lag in informational text standards, the instructional response is to increase nonfiction reading and teach the specific skills those standards target.

Question 3

How do aReading's adaptive algorithms ensure standards are assessed across grade bands rather than only at a student's enrolled grade?

Accepted Answer

The algorithm selects items from a calibrated bank spanning multiple grade levels based on the student's running score

Answer

Computer-adaptive testing draws from an item bank across grade levels, giving easier or harder items based on performance to precisely estimate the student's ability.

Question 4

A student reads a science article and explains how scientists used evidence to support a conclusion. Which RI standard is most closely aligned to this task?

Accepted Answer

RI.8 — Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points

Answer

RI.8 focuses on how authors use reasons and evidence to support points in an argument or explanation, which aligns with evaluating scientific evidence in text.

Question 5

Which reading standard domain includes both RL.7 and RI.7, and what do these standards have in common?

Accepted Answer

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas — both require analyzing information presented in different formats or media

Answer

RL.7 and RI.7 are both in Integration of Knowledge and Ideas, and both require students to work with information across different formats such as text and illustrations or multimedia.
