Today the Year 3 children had a standardised test for reading ( the STAR test). This means that the same test is given to all New Zealand children and so it gives some indication of where your child sits amongst their peers. However - what also needs to be remembered is that seeing as this is their first experience ever of a sit down paper test - some were very nervous and may not have tested to their full ability.
I have the results and are happy to discuss these with you if you call in and I have time.
I will also be testing all children's reading with a running record over the next week or two.
Year 3 children will also sit a listening PAT test in the next week or so.
