As so many different schools have different reading levels/books, even in Nash's class they are using two different systems, so I found this chart that I love and thought I would share. It helps me know where the goals should be set reading level wise for IEP's and where he should be next month as we have the IEP leveled at 8 week intervels.

so FYI

Is anyone else using Rigby in addition to the FP levels?

We just had a discussion about this at Shawen's IEP. They've been using dibels, but we had a discussion about that - it's fluency, not comprehension. Anyway, Shawen's dibels score went from 22 at a 2.2 grade level to 46 at a 2.2 grade level in December, but they dropped back down to 26 in January, but he was reading text at a 2.5 grade level.

How are you writing Nash's reading goals?

I think the Rigby scale is what they use for Kallie as well. Like I get papers that say she is reading at a 1st grade student in the 10th month of school, something like that.

Her goal reads like this....

When given a grade level appropriate reading passage, Kallie will be able to answer comprehension questions at a 6 months progression of skill level with 75% accuracy. It is broken down into 4 short term goals as well.

Kallie is still mostly reading by site words and I am still pressing the issue of her reading phonetically, I hope she makes that transition soon!

My son Joe is 7 and in 1st Grade. We are using a phonics based program called Reading Mastery. It is incredible! This is our 2nd full year in the program and
Joe has improved not only in his reading but in speech and writing as well!
Many schools use this as their only reading program.
It is a McGraw-Hill program.


As our IEP approaches next month I am in need of some IEP goals that support his work in the typical classroom. Any ideas?
