The SOL deserve some credit here. The SOL scores alerted the OP that their DD needs additional assistance.  Several posters have chimed in with similar experiences.

The child is in 6th grade, why is this just coming to light? I would guess that OPs kid has passed proficient but in the lower end of the scores and has had lower percentile iReady's for a while. There is no way that this is a suddent thing. This has to be something that has been brewing but OP has been fine with whatever the scores have been. Good for OP for acting now but I suspect that there have been other signs. [/quote]

At least at our school, I begged in IEP meetings for them to look at my child's low 400s reading scores on the SOL to try to figure out where he was going wrong.  Primarily, I wanted to know whether it was a reading issue, a comprehension issue, or a test taking issue.  It wasn't until he failed, that anyone at the school gave a damn. And they were able to raise his score 50 points in 3 days, so I doubt it was a true reading/comprehension issue.  The issue isn't always the parents.  Especially in this world of electronic learning, we don't always have the information we need to help our kids.  [/quote]

That's because low 400 scores are passing, it means your child is meeting the standards and there is nothing wrong. [/quote]

400 is not a good score, even if it is passing. As we found out, one or two questions in the other direction and you fail. And had they intervened when I asked and given him the skills he was missing (which really were test taking skills) he would not have failed the SOL. [/quote]

So your child needs an IEP for test taking skills? I’m so confused by you, lady. [/quote]
