RIT TO CONCEPTSfor the Web-Based MAP® system

Use the following word lists as you teach the concepts that students are ready to learn. Thewords within each RIT band represent the difficulty level that MAP measures, regardless ofyour state standard. For students who scored within a given range, you can enhance theirinstruction by reinforcing these words.

For English language learners, these word lists can prepare students before theMAP assessment, because the words and related concepts are likely to appear in the test.(However, because tests are adaptive, the words are not guaranteed to appear.)

These words lists are not comprehensive. Use them in conjunction with other vocabulary listsassociated with your curriculum.

Relation to Learning Continuum

These words and concepts correspond directly to the MAP Learning Continuum report. If youwant more context, especially how these topics evolve across the RIT bands, please refer tothe Test View within the Learning Continuum. You'll find learning statements that can bettersuggest when a topic might be a focus for instruction.
