His WJ reading fluency was a two or three percentiles lower compared.

Oh is that how is done? I could see DS but couldn't see what he was doing for each test. That's a relief to hear actually! I didn't realize there was circling words involved - believe it or not that would slow him down! What is CBM?

It's interesting how they score differently on different tests and on different days (especially my DS). On the WIAT he scored in the 95th percentile for reading comp but for passage comp on the WJ he only scored in the 83rd percentile. He's so inconsistent!
