Next week is a B week (Library on Friday)
Mid-Year Literacy Testing
Mid -Year literacy testing has started and will continue the next couple of weeks. Please make sure students are reading each night and practicing their retelling. All students who did not meet the mid-year DRA benchmark of 20 at the beginning of the year will be tested.
CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test)
During the month of February, second grade students in Loudoun
County Public Schools will take the online Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT),
Form 7, Level 8. The CogAT measures general and specific cognitive skills that
allow a student to learn new tasks or solve problems in the absence of direct
instruction.
Students’ verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning abilities are measured
by three test batteries, each of which is comprised of three subtests. Students
typically complete three subtests per day, for three consecutive school days,
to complete all nine subtests. These tests are untimed; however, each day’s
testing period usually does not exceed 90 minutes. Students work through each
subtest at his or her own pace, and the entire test is read aloud to students
by means of pre-recorded audio.
Students cannot prepare or study for the CogAT. Instead, they will have the
opportunity to become familiar with test items through teacher-directed
practice activities. Additionally, practice questions, administered before the
first subtest, will familiarize students with the online testing environment.
Score reports will be sent home to parents/guardians together with the 3rd
Quarter report card.
