Linking NWEA MAP Reading to ISIP Reading
This study provides a reliable crosswalk between two of the most widely used reading assessments in the country, Amira's ISIP and NWEA MAP Reading.
Many districts use both NWEA MAP Growth and a formative assessment platform, and this linking study eliminates the guesswork of translating between the two. Researchers established a statistically valid crosswalk between Amira’s ISIP reading scores and NWEA MAP Reading results, giving district administrators and curriculum directors a unified picture of student literacy progress across both systems. For districts evaluating AI reading programs, this research confirms that Amira’s assessment platform integrates into your existing data ecosystem, allowing your team to make confident, cross-referenced instructional decisions without losing time reconciling incompatible data sources.
