Comprehensive Reading and Vocabulary Level 2 is a direct, systematic, and highly interactive reading comprehension program. The course aligns with the ITBS Reading test, and we use the ITBS reading test to measure student's achievement in this class.
The class is designed with a one-year curriculum for 2nd grade students. This class will help students to prepare for the ITBS/OSA reading tests. While the reading and vocabulary materials helps students to build up the solid fundation and reading skills, we also add ITBS/OSA online reading practice tests to help students to master the test strategies. BSD school disctrict starts using OSA math/reading tests to qualify SUMMA since 2022. ITBS tests can be taken by nomination in Fall term, and OSA math/reading tests are scheduled for 3rd-5th graders in Spring term. Here is the latest SUMMA information from BSD school district: https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/departments/teaching-learning/student-programs/talented-and-gifted.
