I forgot to add that in terms of the WPM, I think it is just timing them from the time they first start reading a passage to when they answer a question. It's another thing to take with a grain of salt. So DS, for instance, was only at around 80-90 WPM in the fall--he probably spaced out at some point, or he was searching for the answer to a question in the passage. In the winter, it states 180 wpm for reading speed, so that is a huge difference and probably more in line with what his "real" reading speed is rather than 80-90. Things haven't changed THAT much in 4 months, esp. since his oral reading speed assessed in the fall was 132, not 80-90.
