Reading, Grades 6-8 with Patsy Dunton or Grades 3-5 with Diana Doiron: These sessions introduce the NECAP standards which are referred to as grade level expectations and articulated with much greater specificity than in our Maine Learning Results. Vocabulary, literary text, and informational text standards are divided into initial understanding and analysis categories. Grades 3 and 4 also include a standard articulating word identification and decoding strategies. Grades 5-8 do not include this standard. We discuss how test items measure the NECAP standards and suggest possible strategies or focus areas for instruction.
