Limitations: Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) for PreK-3/Reading - assess early literacy skills through reading assessment subtests. Seems that only one category has the option of ESL students.
Advantages: 10 years of research that built upon recommended of the National Reading Panel (2000) and National Common Core Standards (2010).
Grouping students by risk while saving time/teaching more.

Improved states Reading w/ Dyslexia - Arizona, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, South Carolina, and Washington.

FastBridge is compared to many state-wide assessments - includes multiple choice questions, fill-in-the blank, etc.
aReading is the highest possible rating of validity, reliability, diagnostic accuracy.

E X A M P L E S:

- earlyMath: includes a total of 17 subtests covering 13 concepts (one for grade K and grade 1) such as, numeral identification recognizing numerals or story problems. The subtests are based on the time of year, composite score when all three are completed. The reports provide profiles of strengths/weaknesses that can plan for future instruction. Considered a benchmark assessment
- mySAEBRS: norm-referenced tool to determine at risk for social-emotional behavior. Assists in success of multiple behavioral domains. (Grades 2-12) schools may decide to target emotional behavior -- social emotional learning. FastBridge recommends waiting until student has been in school for at least six weeks so they adjust to a routine.

earlyMath: early numeracy skills through early math assessment subtests (PreK-1).
aMath: predicting overall math achievement in counting, operations, algebraic thinking, Base-Ten, fractions, measurement, data, and geometry (K-12).
CBMmath Automaticity: fluency and arithmetic facts - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (1-12).
CBMmath Process: General Outcome Measure, single and multi-skill subtests for each level of the elementary school math assessment (2-6).
CBMmath Concepts & Applications: evaluate solving complex and multi-step math problems, computation fact fluency for multi-step algebra problems (K-8).

Universal Screening and Progressing Monitoring using Computer Adaptive Tests (CAT) and Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) - allows educators to receive accurate data while improving the reliability and validity of decisions using this program.
Progress monitoring may be used for a variety of purposes withing MTSS.

aReading: measures broad reading ability and predicts overall reading achievement (K-12).
AUTOreading: accuracy w/ phonics, spelling, and vocab skills (K-12).
CBMreading: oral reading fluency and connected text, used in dyslexia screening (1-8).
CBMcomp: recall/retell information from passages of connected text, extension of CBMreading (1-8).
COMPefficiency: efficiency of students reading comprehension (2-8).
earlyReading: early literacy skills through reading assessment subtests that measure accuracy, used in dyslexia screening (PreK-1) AVAILABLE IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading - phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
Math - number sense, whole number operations, algebra, data analysis, statistics, probability, measurement, rational numbers, geometry, general math
Social-Emotional Behavior - social, academic, emotional
Dyslexia Screening - 10 minutes or fewer, compare students performance to peers, validity - phonic awareness, letter naming, automaticity with sound and words

Spend less time testing, more time teaching.
Reducing test timing in half.

FastBridge is designed for K-12 students, each category is created to target students that need catching up.
