Looking at the 3 graphs, answer the following questions.

1. How do the universal screeners and all other data indicate the student is below grade level expectations in fluency in all 3 scenarios of the graphs?

2. Which graph signifies Ethan is making normal reading progress? Why?

3. Which graph signifies Ethan is exceeding expectations for reading progress? Why?

4. Which graph signifies Ethan is below expectations and interventions need to be changed? Why?

From this point forward, you will only use the graph where Ethan was below expectations. Answer the questions below using this graph, the case study, and the miscue analysis.

1. What strengths can you identify from Ethan’s reading information (case study, miscue analysis, and graphs)?

2. How would you briefly summarize the student’s reading weaknesses based on the information of the student? What would you recommend regarding the RTI process?

Copy and paste the 3 Excel graphs here. Make sure you insert the line and connect point 1 and 11 because the line will not transfer when you copy the graphs. To add the line, choose Insert > Shape > Line. Drag the endpoints from point 1 to point 11.
