Hi everyone,
I've been lurking here for a month as we have wended our way through the process of having my DS (4.3) tested for early entry kindergarten, and I have been so grateful for the resources and advice on this board.
I hate to have my first post be a request, but I'm completely stumped by my son's Woodcock Johnson results in reading, and the broad reading score in particular. The standard score (SS) for broad reading is lower than all of the standard scores that are used to calculate it:
Broad Reading SS: 138
*Letter-word identification SS: 171
*Reading fluency SS: 143
*Passage comprehension SS: 147
I can't for the life of me figure this out! I was really hoping we could just average all three, which would give us DYS-qualifying scores. But I guess that's now how it works? His brief reading score was 182, which is higher than all the subscores (letter-word and passage comprehension), so that doesn't really make sense to me either.
Our tester had a great rapport with my son but I don't think she's worked with many gifted kids, because she is also stumped by the results. His FSIQ came in at 148, so we've just missed that DYS cutoff--we were hoping the WJ III results might qualify him.
If anyone can help, I would be so grateful! Thank you!
