My 13 yo / 7th grade daughter has fininshed her reading testing for her 3 yr re-eval for her IEP. She received the following scores:
On the Woodcock Johnson -Revised of Achievement (WJ-R) - Basic Reading Skills=2.4 and Reading Comprehension=5.2.
Then on the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised - Basic Skills=8.7 and Reading Comp=10.1 (these are all grade level scores).
Is anyone familiar with these 2 tests? While I don’t know if this is really comparing apples to apples, I’m concerned about the wide spread in the scores on this testing and have no better explanation other than “This proves she’s LD.”.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!

Re: Reading Test Scores
She’s not a good speller. I’m looking for a tutor to help her with the whole ball of wax!
Thanks,

I would try to find a certified Phono-Graphix tutor,
as this is a very efficient approach to developing decoding skills. You can call or email the company to find out if there are certified tutors in your area. Website is http://www.readamerica.net.

Nancy - the scores on the WJ-R show that your daughter is an intelligent girl and her comprehension is good. She can probably figure out the meaning of what she reads by using a variety of strategies. The low score shows that she has trouble decoding words phonetically. How is her spelling ability?
