Can state test results be used to adjust the starting point for students taking the SRI for the first time?
There are several ways to use state reading test results to adjust the starting point for students taking the SRI. Which method you use will depend on the way in which your state reports results from the reading and/or language arts portions of your state end-of-year assessment. In particular, your state may use a test for end-of-year NCLB reporting from which Lexile scores are available. If this score is available, you can enter it in SRI before testing the student. State test results are also often reported by percentile rank and their corresponding stanines. If you have this additional information, you should enter it as well. In the absence of Lexile scores from your state’s test, you should enter percentile and stanine data where available.
