He got all S's except for an I/S for Classroom Behavior. The teacher's note says:
J does nice work in class. He is working on his social skills with classmates and he is trying not to disrupt others' learning with talking/noises.Hmmm...does it sound like he could be bored out of his mind?
Attached to the progress report is the Idaho Reading Indicator test results. For "Letter Sound Fluency," J did 55 in one minute. The Fall "on-grade level" is 31. Spring "on-grade level" is 72, which seems like an awful lot to me. That's more than one per second! How fast can you rattle that information off?
For "Reading Fluency," which for some reason is a "non-reported item," J scored 152 words in one minute. Okay, maybe 72 doesn't see like that many all of a sudden. Spring "on-grade level" is 53 words per minute.
And that means he scored a 3, meaning that he's on grade level. Although I don't think "on" would be the right word. But there is no score of 4 to mean above grade level. The only do these tests to catch stragglers, not advanced kids.
