Assessment Description and Purpose

FastBridge assessments are used as districtwide universal screeners for all students K-9 in order to assess students’ reading and math skills. The FastBridge earlyReading and earlyMath assessments will be given to Kindergarten and 1st grade students. The aReading and aMath assessments will be given to students in grades 2-9. CBMreading is required at grades 2-5.

Additionally, any MPS student in grades K-12 who is receiving either a math or reading intervention should be screened three times per year.

ACCESS for ELLs

Alternate ACCESS for ELLs

Capti ReadBasix

The Minnesota READ Act requires screening for characteristics of dyslexia in grades 4-12 for those who do not demonstrate mastery of foundational reading skills. Capti ReadBasix is the only screening tool approved by MDE for this purpose.

Students taking Capti will complete all six subtests: Word Recognition and Decoding; Vocabulary; Morphology; Sentence Processing; Reading Efficiency; Reading Comprehension.

Capti ReadBasix is a tool where the data may identify students who show characteristics of dyslexia. It does not identify if a student has dyslexia.

MCA

The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) measures the success of instruction based on the Minnesota Academic Standards. Results can be used to see if students are mastering key content knowledge and attain the skills necessary for future success in education and the workforce. *Reading and Math are adaptive tests. Science is linear (same test for each student).

MTAS / Alternate MCA

Minnesota's alternate assessment, the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS) or Alternate Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (Alt MCA), is a performance-based assessment in reading, mathematics and science for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. It is the alternate assessment to the MCA, and has substantial reductions in the complexity of the academic content standards.
