Read the following pair of passages:
Passage A
I was helping mom put the shopping in the trunk, but her phone rang. She walked to the wall to get a better signal, and I finished emptying the cart. I must have nudged it when I reached up to close the trunk. A car started up on the next level, so I didn’t realize for a few seconds what was happening. When I turned around, the cart was already hurtling down the ramp straight towards an oncoming car. I was convinced there would be a terrible crash and put my hands over my eyes.
Passage B
The boy, Josh Bradfield, was praised by police for his actions. He had been skateboarding in the multi-story parking garage when he saw a shopping cart rolling down the ramp, unattended. Moving at considerable speed, he was able to intercept the cart moments before it would have crashed into Mrs. Baker’s car. Mrs. Baker, 76, was said to be shocked but unhurt.

Hello, my students in 5th grade scored 527-543 on the reading diagnostic test. How are they doing according to your percentile score?

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Because the i-Ready can be administered up to three times a year, there are different norms for each administration of the test. Based on the National Norm charts for 2020/21, your student scored in the 20th – 39th percentile if this is the fall administration.
