<description><![CDATA[It is my understanding that you are only required to administer one benchmark title to determine instructional levels.  You can choose fiction or non-fiction.  Students tend to struggle more with non-fiction, so you can instruct one level lower for non-fiction.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After looking at the books and reading response assessments, it seems to me that children have to be taught on how to take these tests.  Some questions within the Non-Fiction sections seem to be quite abstract especially dealing with the question regarding outside the text and author.  If I give a student the assessment on both Fiction and Non Fiction, what is the best way to continue to teach when the student does great in fiction, but not soo good in Non fiction.  We were using the N books.  what would be the best way to teach for passing the N when I already have gven the student both assessments?]]></description>
