3 MCAS Reading Performance Indicators The MCAS Reading Performance Indicator practice tests are designed to help students prepare for the Massachusetts State Testing Program in Reading. There are two forms of the MCAS Reading Performance Indicator available. They are parallel forms that can be administered before and after instruction or at any time during the school year. The MCAS Finish Line Reading Workbook, Grade 3 provides a complete sequence of instruction in the assessed learning standards of the Massachusetts English Language Arts Curriculum Framework. The workbook includes guided and independent practices for each reading skill. A list of assessed standards is available at the back of this guide The MCAS Reading Performance Indicator, Grade 3 is divided into three sessions. The sessions should be administered on three consecutive days. All three sessions contain reading selections followed by multiple-choice questions; two sessions include an open-response question. Each multiple-choice question has four answer choices, one of which is the correct answer. Students should circle the letter of the best answer. Students should answer the open-response questions in their own writing in the booklet. This teacher s guide includes suggestions for using these test preparation materials, directions for administering the practice test, an answer key, correlations to the Massachusetts English Language Arts Curriculum Framework, scoring rubrics, a class profile chart for the multiple-choice questions, and a proficiency chart for the openresponse questions. The chart below provides a sample timetable for administering the Grade 3 Reading Performance Indicator practice test. Session 1 1 reading selection 45 minutes, plus an additional 8 multiple-choice questions 10 minutes for preparation Session 2 3 reading selections 60 minutes, plus an additional 16 multiple-choice questions 10 minutes for preparation 1 open-response question Session 3 3 reading selections 60 minutes, plus an additional 16 multiple-choice questions 10 minutes for preparation 1 open-response question MCAS Reading Performance Indicator Form 3A 3
4 Session 1 Using Your Performance Indicator Reading tests are usually given in multiple sessions. You will probably want your students to work with the MCAS Performance Indicator practice tests in the same way. In addition, schedule a review session as close as possible to the completion of the test. This will enable you to go over the students answers while the contents are still fresh in their minds. Be sure to consider with students ways in which their comprehension and written responses could be improved. Directions for using each booklet begin below. Those that you will read aloud to the class are in boldface type and preceded by the word ; those that are not meant to be read aloud are in regular type. The directions that follow instruct the students to write their answers in the test booklets. If you prefer to use a separate answer sheet for the multiple-choice and/or open-response questions, reproduce the answer sheets on pages 8 9 of this guide. Remind students to write their names on the answer sheets. Then instruct them on how to fill in the circles clearly. Allow 45 minutes for this first session. Make sure each student has a Form A booklet, two No. 2 pencils, and optional answer sheets, if you are using them. Turn to the inside front cover of the booklet and write your name on the line provided. For Session 1, you will have 45 minutes to read the passage carefully and answer the 8 questions about what you have read. Check to be sure students have written their names on the inside front cover of their booklets. Explain to the students that they should read each multiple-choice question and all four answers carefully before circling the letter of the best answer. Then take the time to answer any questions the students may have. Open your booklets to page 3. Read the directions. I am now writing the time on the chalkboard.

Open-response [8.10, 15, 18] Answers will vary but should say something like the following: When farmers collect the berries by wet harvesting, they add more water to the cranberry bog until it is flooded. Then the farmers wear rubber boots and rubber pants and walk into the kneedeep water. They use a machine called a water reel. It looks like a giant eggbeater. It knocks the berries off their vines. Each berry has an air bubble in it, so the berries float. The farmers then use nets to gather the floating berries. 21. B [11.2] 22. A [8.16] 23. B [12.2] 24. A [5.5] 25.

Open-response [8.9, 16] Answers will vary but should say something like the following: The sign had read, Cookies, 25 cents each or three for one dollar, but this was a mistake. Erin and Maria meant to write Cookies, 25 cents each or five for one dollar. At 25 cents each, a dollar should be enough for four cookies, but the girls want to give a good deal to customers who buy more, so they are giving an extra cookie to a customer who spends a dollar. John shows the girls that the sign is wrong, so Maria crosses out the word three and changes it to the word five. 35. C [8.15] 36. B [13.6] 37. D [8.18] 38. C [4.14] 39. B [11.2]. C [12.2] 41.

11 Scoring Rubric for Open-Response Items This rubric should be used for the open-response questions in sessions 2 and 3. Actual scores range from 4 to 0. Grade 3 Reading Suggested Rubric The response is a complete, clear, and accurate explanation. Relevant and specific textual evidence, presented through direct quotation, paraphrase, or a combination of both methods, is included in the response. The response is a fairly complete, clear, and accurate explanation. Relevant, but often general, textual evidence, presented through direct quotation, paraphrase, or a combination of both methods, is included in the response. The response is a partial, possibly unclear, explanation that offers either a mix of accurate and inaccurate evidence or simply a piece or two of accurate evidence by itself. Some relevant, but general and vague, textual evidence, presented through direct quotation or paraphrase, is included in the response. Exhibiting varying degrees of clarity, the response is a minimal explanation that, in attempting an explanation, consists of largely inaccurate evidence, a general statement, or a few snippets of detail. Little, if any, relevant textual evidence, presented either through direct quotation or paraphrase, is included in the response. The response is incorrect, irrelevant, or contains insufficient evidence to show any understanding. MCAS Reading Performance Indicator Form 3A 11

31 Scoring Rubric for Open-Response Items This rubric should be used for the open-response questions in sessions 2 and 3. Actual scores range from 4 to 0. Grade 3 Reading Suggested Rubric The response is a complete, clear, and accurate explanation. Relevant and specific textual evidence, presented through direct quotation, paraphrase, or a combination of both methods, is included in the response. The response is a fairly complete, clear, and accurate explanation. Relevant, but often general, textual evidence, presented through direct quotation, paraphrase, or a combination of both methods, is included in the response. The response is a partial, possibly unclear, explanation that offers either a mix of accurate and inaccurate evidence or simply a piece or two of accurate evidence by itself. Some relevant, but general and vague, textual evidence, presented through direct quotation or paraphrase, is included in the response. Exhibiting varying degrees of clarity, the response is a minimal explanation that, in attempting an explanation, consists of largely inaccurate evidence, a general statement, or a few snippets of detail. Little, if any, relevant textual evidence, presented either through direct quotation or paraphrase, is included in the response. The response is incorrect, irrelevant, or contains insufficient evidence to show any understanding. MCAS Reading Performance Indicator Form 3B 11
