False (Answer: Independent)
To access the PC and RB sections of TRC you need the books Mary’s Lamb and
The Sock is on the Floor.
True
There are 16 items assessed in PC and 16 items in RB.
False (Answer: 16/6, all essential supporting skills)
A white circle in the Reading Level area of the Benchmark assessment column
indicates that TRC has not been administered.

A student would have to score 13 out of 16 items correct in the Print Concepts to
move on to the Reading Behaviors items.
True
37
TRC: Points to Remember
The mCLASS:Reading 3D Level System chart shows the letter or
number that correlates to district needs, matching reading
books to assessment levels.
When the student is Independent in Print Concepts, administer
Reading Behaviors.
Although some TRC books are not timed, prompt student with
the next question after a 5-second hesitation.
A student’s instructional reading level is the highest level on which
the student is able to read a text with 90% Accuracy or higher, and
Oral Comprehension of 4 or higher.

Why Leveled Readers
 Promotes fluency by tying practice to ability level.
 Gives students feelings of control over text and, therefore, they are less
frustrated.
 Provides practice using Independent reading strategies.
 Fosters reading for meaning, with only a few new words to decode.
 Defines an Independent Level (95% accuracy or above; 5 hard words out of
100) and an Instructional Level (90% accuracy or above; 10 hard words out
of 100).
 Integrates isolated comprehension skills into connected text.
41
Jake’s Plan
Let’s say Jake scores Frustrational at
Level N and Instructional at Level M.

Which book level would you use for
