Grade 1 Qualifying Scores: ORF ~ Oral Reading Fluency • Students read two fictional stories each for one minute. LSWF~ Letter Sound Word Fluency • Students say the sounds of visually presented letters, syllables and words for one minute.

Vocabulary • Students identified the meanings of target words by selecting from multiple choice options on a computer based assessment. Comprehension • Students read six passages and answered multiple choice questions about each passage.
