A Look at the OAA
• All OAA are based on the grade level standards.• The third grade OAA is based on what students
should know by the end of third grade.• Standards help educators identify and measure
what a student should be able and can do.• The OAA tells us how well your child is
progressing towards what he/she is expected to know.
Reading Assessment• There are 4 different types of selections• Questions include multiple choice (3 choices),
short answer and extended response.• Each question is given a point value.• Types of stories USUALLY include fiction, non-
fiction, poetry, and other.• Questions also include antonyms, synonyms,
contractions, homophones, vocabulary, etc.• Students often will have to read charts/graphs
and interpret them.
Testing Day• Child Enters room/ Please don’t be tardy• 2-#2 pencils must be sharpened• All charts/tables are covered that could help a child during
the test Examples: 100’s chart/ vowel chart/ multiplication fact chart• 3rd & 4th Grade write in their testing booklet.• 5th – 8th Grade have testing booklet and a separate answer
document to bubble and write their short answer & extended response on.
• Overall directions are read to child, but child must read their own directions during the test.
• Child has 2-1/2 hours to complete the test. We usually take 2-3 short breaks.
• Teacher may not assist a child with questions or words he/she may not know.
• Child may have the full 2 ½ hours if needed. (student must have a book to read on test day)

Parent Tips• Get a good night’s sleep the week before the
test and the week of the tests.• Good NUTRITIOUS breakfast before coming to
school.• Remind your child to relax. All you ask of
your child is to do your best. It is OK if there is part of the test you don’t understand…Just try!
• Answer EVERY QUESTION!• Double check by going back and re-reading
every question AND every answer (there are 2 ½ hours, so use it!)
