To help you better understand your child’s scores, we have included the state of Michigan’s Parent Guides (see below). These guides provide an in-depth understanding of your child’s results. The state has also developed the Starting Smarter website: https://mi.startingsmarter.org/. The Starting Smarter website provides a more concise overview of the M-STEP along with some helpful M-STEP and learning resources.
