The agenda covers the district vision, what BAS and NWEA MAP are, and specific ways parents can support literacy growth using results. BAS details include individual administration, teacher-recorded behaviors, reading levels, and how results guide reading groups, differentiation, interventions, and progress monitoring. Includes common misconceptions and a recommended daily reading routine.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/understanding-your-childs-standardized-assessments-bas-nwea-map/499846/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/understanding-your-childs-standardized-assessments-bas-nwea-map/499846.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Taylor Morgan","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-10-03",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the Benchmark Assessment System (BAS)?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"BAS is a literacy assessment administered individually to each student by the classroom teacher three times each year.

 \n● What is the NWEAMAP?  \n● How Can You Help Your Child?  \n● Questions  \n● Session Feedback Survey  \nOutcomes    \nParticipants will be able to:  \n● Learn what the NWEAMAP and BAS assessment are and how they inform instruction.  \n● Understand ways parents can support their children’s growth and development based on MAP and BAS data.  \nOur Vision    \nAt Peterson Elementary, we give rise to:  \nCollege Graduates,  \nCommunity Leaders,  \nand  \nCultural Ambassadors.  \nThe Benchmark Assessment System  \n What is the Benchmark Assessment System?    \n● The BAS is a literacy assessment administered individually to each student by the classroom teacher three times each year.  \n● It consists of two parts:  \n○ Student reads one-on-one with a teacher  \n○ Depending on the student’s accuracy and fluency, he/she maybe asked reading comprehension questions.  \n● Throughout the assessment, the teacher records the reader’s behaviors.  \n○ Does the child read with fluency and accuracy?  \n○ Does the child sound out words?  \n○ What kind of errors does the child make?  \nReading Levels    \nLet’s take a look at some leveled books.  \nDiving Deeper into Reading Levels    \nIn Kindergarten (levels A-D), students typically can:  \n● Move from left to right when reading.  \n● Recognize high frequency words  \n● Match spoken words with written words  \n● Use prior knowledge to self-correct and self-monitor  \n● Summarize a story  \n● Notices and uses punctuation  \n● Reads at a steady rate  \n● Make predictions  \n● Make connections  \n● Critique texts  \nIn 1st Grade (levels E-J), students typically:  \n● Recognize 50 of more high frequency words  \n● Read with greater fluency  \n● Notice greater details and use these details to understand the text  \n● Uses different strategies to solve unknown words.  \n● Expand their thinking about texts  \n○ Acquires new information from texts  \n○ Interpret ideas from images  \n○ Uses evidence from the text  \n○ Notices humor in texts  \n○ Recognize if a text is fiction or nonfiction  \nMisconception Alert    \n▪ Your child’s level is not a label.  \n▪ Your child is reading at these levels.  \n▪ You can read whatever you prefer to your child.  \n▪ We recommend that you read to your child for at least 20 minutes a day.  \nWhat are BAS Results Used For?    \n● To identify a student’s instructional and independent reading levels (A-Z)  \n● To differentiate instruction  \n● To form reading groups for reading instruction  \n● To plan for effective instruction  \n● To identify students who need interventions and additional supports  \n● To monitor a student’s growth/ progress throughout the year  \n● To determine the impact of classroom instruction","cbCaidgDVSsX72Sz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidgDVSsX72Sz","pdf",1528125,22,"English","# Agenda\n## Outcomes\n# Our Vision\n# The Benchmark Assessment System\n## Reading Levels\n# Misconception Alert\n# What are BAS Results Used For?","[{\"question\":\"What is the Benchmark Assessment System (BAS)?\",\"answer\":\"BAS is a literacy assessment administered individually to each student by the classroom teacher three times each year.
