Entering Fluency-Based Responses

You can enter student responses for fluency-based measures into easyCBM either

online during test administration, while the student reads, or

after administering the test and recording the student's responses on the printed Assessor Copy.

For further instructions, see Administering Fluency-Based Measures.

Note: As with the easyCBM group-administered tests, it is more efficient to enter responses directly online through a touch-pad device or a PC.

To enter student responses after marking a printed Assessor Copy:

Navigate to the list of measures containing the test you administered. (For open Benchmark periods, click the Measures tile or tab.)

If helpful, filter options on the page by:

clicking the Progress Monitoring tab (if your fluency test was a Progress Monitoring measure administered during an open Benchmark period).

selecting a different grade if the student you are testing is in (or testing at) a different grade from the one that opened by default.

Enter scores for each student. (See directions by clicking one of the test types below.)

For Benchmark fluencies:

For Progress Monitoring fluencies:

Save the scores you entered.

To enter student responses online (while a student tests):

Perform all the preparations and steps 1 - 3 for  Administering Fluency-Based Measures.

Access the Passage Text view of the online test with stopwatches showing, and have the printed Student Copy ready for the student (for all but the phoneme measure) for reading aloud.

Note: Passage text is the only way to obtain Accuracy Scores.

Follow the instructions for administering the specific fluency test. For all tests:

Tell the student to begin and click the Start button on the stopwatch

Make your marks on the online version of the passage text, as shown above.

When the time runs out, click to mark the last word read by the student.

When the test is complete, click Save.  easyCBM automatically scores the test and updates reports with the student’s results. Options for resetting the clock or deleting the measure appear near the Save button.

 

Do any of the following:

Edit any mis-marked items by clicking in the online passage text, and then click Save to enter the changes into the system.

Click  Delete to delete the test record for the student.

Click Reset to reset the clock to 60 seconds.

Conduct one or more additional fluency measures  and click the Save All button located at the bottom of the Save column. easyCBM automatically scores the tests and updates reports with the student's results.
