Test Results and What They Mean

Part of the responsibility of a reading therapist is to report to the parents the results of specialized programs developed for their children. Whether the report is made in person or sent to the parents or teachers of the children, there can be confusion or misunderstanding when grade-level scores are used.

Over a period of time, and after a review of numerous parent conferences and discussions with local school administrators and teachers, the following report was prepared by the Academic Achievement and Learning Group, Los Angeles, California, to better communicate with parents and school personnel who are concerned about students' work in remedial reading.
