These brochures contain specific information about the March 2000 test, as well as, suggestions and information that parents and guardians may use to help their children improve their reading comprehension. Many districts find that fall parent-teacher conferences are an excellent way to discuss the importance of reading and to distribute the brochures.
Testing is to be done in three sessions.
The test is not a timed test. Students should be given as much time as they need to finish each session. However, for purposes of scheduling, you should expect each session to take approximately an hour for most students. Some students may need more time, some may need less. Specific information about administering the tests to students will be included in the District Testing Coordinator Directions and the Test Administration Guides which will be sent to districts in March along with the other WRCT testing materials.
