On Aleks he's about 40 percent proficient for third grade math but only did it for about 5 days and hasn't done it in a couple months. It was too hard for him because some of the calculations involved copying on scratch paper. I've been doing 3rd grade Singapore Math with him for the last couple weeks (once I realized the school's not going to do anything) and he did fluency on Big Brainz over the summer but otherwise I've done very little at home with him. If I asked him what the perimeter of something is or "what is a rhombus?" I don't know if he'd know what i'm talking about. So it sounds like WJ is mostly about number operations, fluency, and word problems rather than concepts or "standards"?
polarbear, he said he had to write for the math test, so I assume they did it the "correct" way. I'm not sure how they were able to read his writing though! On the very brief report I have it says for the calculation and applied problems sections he did not show his work and did everything in his head (wonder if he was "supposed" to show his work, and just refused, or what?)
Strangely on the writing section his lowest score was 80th percentile for writing fluency. Luckily the OT also did other handwriting assessments and saw how awkward he is with writing, how illegible it is, he has hand tremors, and forms most of the letters incorrectly.
For reading he was overall 96th percentile with a 96 in comprehension and 96 in fluency. He was 99th percentile in fluency for CBM's (his speech is slow/dysfluent due to dyspraxia and he tends to read aloud at the same slow speed no matter what level he is reading). His teacher is making him read Level L books (second grade?) saying his comprehension is poor. Last year in Kindergarten he was at an O and the teacher said he had no problem comprehending. Does a 96th percentile for fluency/comprehension indicate being only 1 year ahead?
