For the Achievement section of the report:
The purpose of assessing academic performance levels is to determine if Xxx has an educational
need resulting from a disability, as well as to determine the presence or absence of a significant
educational deficit requiring special education services.
The Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests Third Edition (WRMT-III) is a comprehensive battery of
individually administered tests that measure reading readiness and reading achievement.
The WRMT-III was administered with the following results (based on age norms):
Standard Score
Percentile
(mean =100)
Rank
Readiness
Letter Identification
Phonological Awareness
Rapid Automatic Naming
Basic Skills
Word Identification
Word Attack
Reading Comprehension
Word Comprehension
Passage Comprehension
Additional Subtests
Listening Comprehension
Oral Reading Fluency
Total Reading
The Readiness cluster is a combination of Phonological Awareness (matching first or last sounds
in a word, rhyming words, blending phonemes to form words, and identifying a word when a
piece of it is removed), Rapid Automatic Naming (naming a series of familiar objects, colors,
numbers, or letters) and Letter Identification (naming uppercase and lowercase letters presented
visually). This cluster provides an index of several skills necessary for beginning reading.
Specifically, Xxx was able to…Xxx had difficulty…(personalize this section based on analysis of
the student’s responses)
Xxx’s score on this cluster (is within normal limits/indicates a normative deficit/indicates a
normative strength).
The Basic Skills cluster is a combination of Word Identification (reading words of increasing
difficulty) and Word Attack (naming nonsense words of increasing difficulty using the alphabetic
and syllabication rules of the English language). This cluster provides a broad measure of basic
reading skills. Specifically, Xxx was able to…Xxx had difficulty…(personalize this section
based on analysis of the student’s responses)
Xxx’s score on this cluster (is within normal limits/indicates a normative deficit/indicates a
normative strength).
The Reading Comprehension cluster is a combination of Word Comprehension (identifying
antonyms, synonyms and analogies), and Passage Comprehension (identifying a missing word in
a sentence or short passage). This cluster provides a broad measure of reading comprehension
skills. Specifically, Xxx was able to…Xxx had difficulty…(personalize this section based on
analysis of the student’s responses)
Xxx’s score on this cluster (is within normal limits/indicates a normative deficit/indicates a
normative strength).
The Listening Comprehension subtest (verbally responding to questions about the content of a
passage heard) measures the ability to comprehend spoken language and includes items to test
both literal and inferential comprehension skills. Specifically, Xxx was able to…Xxx had
difficulty…(personalize this section based on analysis of the student’s responses)
The Oral Reading Fluency subtest (reading aloud one or two passages) measures the ability to
fluently integrate learned reading abilities such as decoding, expression, and phrasing.
Specifically, Xxx was able to…Xxx had difficulty…(personalize this section based on analysis of
the student’s responses)
The Total Reading Composite is a combination of Word Identification, Word Attack, Word
Comprehension, Passage Comprehension and Oral Reading Fluency. These tests serve as a
broad measure of global reading ability.
Xxx’s score on this composite (is within normal limits/indicates a normative deficit/indicates a
normative strength).
