Could this affect reading rate? sarah_zins https://padlet.com/sarah_zins/yc8fnlon2g4n/wish/231115944 -The answer from the helpdesk is that they're unsure if that affects reading rate.]]> 2018-02-13 16:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_zins/yc8fnlon2g4n/wish/231115944 How can we use the subtest breakdown (text-to-text, text-to-passage, etc.) to understand what kinds of intervention students need? sarah_zins https://padlet.com/sarah_zins/yc8fnlon2g4n/wish/231116488 FastBridge doesn't recommend interventions or even kinds of interventions, but here's the information offered in COMPefficiency Overview article in the Knowledge Base about what each subscore indicates: 

text-to-text (low inference): paraphrase - the student's ability comprehend paraphrased information from the passage

text-to-passage (moderate inference): connecting inference - the student's ability to connect information from different parts of the passage

text-to-knowledge (high inference): elaborative inference - the student's ability to connect information from the passage to prior knowledge

We are hoping this will be developed for next year, but cannot confirm that. A workaround might be to simply start progress monitoring off-grade and adjust goals as you get a few PM scores into the system.]]> 2018-02-13 18:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_zins/yc8fnlon2g4n/wish/231202859
