Description: Results of the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Assessment Program in Primary Reading (AP-PR) describe changes in attainment of reading benchmarks in kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2. Predictions of student reading benchmark status from one year to the next take into consideration the relative difficulty of the text levels used to assess attainment of the end-of-year benchmarks for kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2.

Recommendations:

  • Attainment of "stretch goals" for reading in kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 would help to ensure that primary students are securely on the path to college readiness by the end of high school.
