[MOSAIC] Do You Test Those Well Above Your Benchmark?

[Ljackson]

We stop at levels considered to be advanced.  When the child returns in the fall, the teacher may tst back a level.  Our communities offer little in support of reading outside of the school and most of our students don't maintain reading levels across a three month break.
