Read Theory
What is Read Theory?
Read Theory provides passages and text-dependent questions for comprehension assessment on each student’s grade level. It also provides the reasons why each answer choice is right or wrong, so students can reflect and improve with practice.
How does it determine a Reading Grade Level?
Read Theory adapts to student performance. This means the reading difficulty level may change after each quiz. The reading grade level may go up, down, or remain unchanged based on the score from the text-dependent questions. Here’s how it works…
▲ Grade Level moves up: score 90% or greater
► Grade Level stays unchanged: score between 70% and 90%
▼ Grade Level moves down: score below 70%
Upon clicking the “Next Passage” button, the system selects a passage and questions at random from the pool of available quizzes at the appropriate reading grade level.
How am I graded? (Starting the week of February 15)
Grades are NOT determined by grade level, but by how many points earned by that student on passages on his/her appropriate grade level:
+1 point per correct question correct
+3 points per correct bonus question
+10 points for a passing score on a passage
+15 points for a perfect score on a passage
100+ points = 100
