DATA POINT: Montgomery County Assessment Program (MCPS-AP) Reading (pre-K-2)
OVERVIEW
The MCPS Assessment Program in Primary Reading (MCPSAP-PR) is a combination of a locally developed assessment and a nationally norm-referenced assessment that provides formative information to help teachers and administrators focus instruction and monitor students’ reading progress from Pre-kindergarten through Grade 2. The stated goal of this assessment program is to provide continuous feedback on students’ reading development, including accuracy, oral reading fluency, and comprehension. The MCPSAP-PR consists of two components—foundational reading skills and reading proficiency.
