Find Where the Breakdown Is
Reading is a pipeline. If one layer is broken, everything above it struggles. This tool walks you through your child's test data and shows exactly where the system is breaking down.
Check every test your child has been given. This includes the school's evaluation, any private/outside evaluations, and classroom-level screening data. Don't worry if you're not sure about a test; you can always come back and change your selections.
Here's how your selected tests map to the five layers of the reading pipeline. Green means you have good data for that layer. Gaps mean the school (or your outside evaluator) didn't test that area.
Enter the scores from each test you selected. Only fill in what you have. Tip: Standard Scores have a mean of 100 and SD of 15. Scaled Scores have a mean of 10 and SD of 3. Percentages and WCPM are entered as-is.
Use this in emails to the school, share with your advocate, or bring to the IEP meeting.
