What Do the IMPs Measure?
The IMPs measure progress in the following areas:
Letter and Sound Knowledge: As the student reads the letter or sound, you keep track of which ones they named or said correctly.
Rhyme Identification or Production: You read the words in gray, which the student cannot see, and they indicate if the words rhyme or not.
Syllable counting: You read the word and the student identifies how many syllables are in the word.
Reading at word, sentence, and paragraph level: As the student reads, you mark the incorrect responses.
Spelling: The students spell the words out on the whiteboard for you to assess.
Prefix-Root-Suffix: Depending on the exam, the student uses the whiteboard to identify prefix, root, or suffix.
Reading Fluency: Fluency is targeted during the reading tasks. Fluency measurements include: Words correct per minute, percent of words read correctly.
Comprehension of Text: Comprehension questions regarding the paragraph read are included in the instructions for you to ask.
