Jake loves to read and always has his nose in a book. Sometimes when he gets grounded he even looses his reading privileges.

When he started 6th Grade at La Vernia Elementary he took two STAR computer-adaptive tests, one for reading and one for math. Going by the standard these tests follow they were administered when Jake was at 6.1 Level, meaning he was in the first month of 6th Grade.

On the STAR computer-adaptive reading test he scored at a 10.8 Level. Based on the national norms, Jacob reads at a level equal to that of a typical tenth grader after the eighth month of school year. Jacob reads at a level greater than 94% of other students nationally in the same grade.

The test results are posted at the left if you would like to take a look click on the test and it will appear bigger on a new page.

He also took a STAR computer-adaptive math test in which he tested at a 7.4 Level, based on the national norms, Jakes math skills are equal to that of a typical seventh grader after the fourth month of school. His skills are higher than 75% of students nationally in the same grade. 

These test results are also shown here to the right.

Creativity
Jake is very creative. He built this castle out of some pieces of wood that he got from school. Dad helped him cut out the draw bridge but he did the rest by himself. He is currently working on a paper city SPV or Stick Paper Ville. All of the buildings, roads, and parking lots are made out of paper and of course the streets are lined with stick people. I will include pictures of it once he finishes.
