EYE Step Testing

At the dinner table, Mason, a third-grader, was talking about how his class would soon be taking the I-STEP (Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress) tests for the spring semester. Levi, my first-grader, piped up and said "we already took those tests!" Mason said "no way, you don't take I-step in first grade." Levi persisted, "yes we did! The teacher told me to step on this line, cover my right eye like this and read the chart on the wall." Yes, he did, indeed, take an EYE-Step test!
