Reading
Decoding, comprehension, fluency, and getting to the content another way.
Clue → possible need → accommodation → what it looks like → what to say → what to track
Behavior clue #1
Guesses at words from the first letter.
What this may be telling us
Decoding may still be developing.
Recommended accommodation
Decodable or leveled text for independent practice.
Why this may help
Matching text to skill may build accuracy.
What this looks like at school
Independent reading uses text at the student's level.
What you can say
"Could independent reading materials be matched to my child's current reading level?"
What to track
Accuracy percent on running records.
Behavior clue #2
Reads it, remembers nothing.
What this may be telling us
All effort may be going to decoding, leaving none for meaning.
Recommended accommodation
Text-to-speech or audio version alongside the text, where appropriate.
Why this may help
Hearing the text may free capacity for comprehension.
What this looks like at school
Student listens while following along on screen.
What you can say
"The team may consider text-to-speech for content reading (not decoding assessments)."
What to track
Comprehension scores with and without audio.
