The school had insisted that my daughter was at a reading level 3L and last I knew an M guided reading level. This didn't make sense since she scored in the 99th percentile in reading on her WIAT that was done independently. Well dumb me ran with what the school said and had her take a DORA exam to find out where to start a guided reading level program. Now I need advice!

Her reading level score estimated equivalencies are as follows:
DRA1 and DRA2: max 44
Reading Recovery:beyond 34 max
Fountas & Pinell: beyond V max
Lexile: 1000

Her scores as grade levels are:
High frequency word subtest: maximum
Word Recognition Subtest: high 12th
Phonics analysis: maximum
Spelling subtest: mid 3rd (I'm not sure on this one based on her performance in school.)
Oral Vocab: high 5th (Not sure about this one either.)
Reading Comprehension Subtest: low 10th

Now that we are homeschooling I am lost as to what these results actually mean and how to proceed from here? Any advice or input is appreciated. (We had been doing Dear Mr. Henshaw with a teacher guide.)
