It did result in her landing in a fundations group with a reading specialist in 3rd that was useless. We pulled her from it (one good thing about virtual) and got get a tutor to work on a few weak areas and she's a fine reader. So, it's a weird screener and I wouldn't rely on it for AAP purposes fwiw.

Cogat verbal uses pictures. That level of mismatch could be a sign of dyslexia. Dyslexia can look different in gifted kids because they develop or are advanced enough in other skills to cover for their weakness in phonological or phonemic awareness. It could also Just have been that test or that day. Just wanted to mention because I wasn't aware of that until our child also had a significant phonics to reading level mismatch like that.

I am not certain what LDs look like for the gifted. I know that I am smart and I have LDs. I dreaded the WiSC as I got older because I always knew I was supposed to do better on it then I was, it was insanely frustrating because I could see the areas where I was confused or things slowed down in terms of processing. It sucked. Succckkkkeeeedddd. Seriously, I still dread the idea of the WiSC and I am a 50 year old adult. I took the WiSC a few different times, always years a part, because of my progress in school, moving across country, and then to set my IEP when I graduated from High School.

I don't know what dyslexia "looks like" for a gifted kid but I know that I have no memories of struggling with reading, I also know that I read a lot in context at this point. Reading to my son has been challenging because I do need to read every word and I can struggle reading Percy Jackson because I am moving words from one line to the next or moving letters around. It is kind of crazy. I know I was always seen as being advanced in my comprehension but my spelling, grammar, and processing for reading was horrific. I earned a PhD in a field that requires a lot of reading and writing and I did not have an accommodation that centered around reading. I did hire an editor for my dissertation and I did use proof readers for all of my papers and any written work.

I can fully see a bright child doing poorly on the iReady based on how it has been described. I could also see some of the remiediations they offer not being the proper course of action.

Our DD is in AAP and scored 99% on most and it wasn't like the teacher made a big deal about it--so I don't think it was that an unusual result for AAP kids--she just said "obviously there are no concerns here." I think it really is a screener to help you see areas of potential weakness rather than something that shows how strong you are. One of DD's friend's parent told us that the iready did pick up some gaps for them and it was the final trigger to go get a neuropsych eval for their kid who scored high on cogat etc. but may have some specific learning disabilities.

This sums up iready in my opinion. It is not really about evidencing the level a child is at but more screening for a child not where they should be for grade level in certain areas. It is not an achievement test.

I see. I used to refer to the percentile charts long time ago. But it did not work for me any more.
According to the chart, DC is always 99, because DC is 3-4 grade level ahead.
Thus the grade level assessment from teacher is more helpful to know where DC is.
Thanks!

I teach third grade. IME scores in the 90+ percentile aren't that uncommon. In math, two of my students scored at the 99th percentile, one at the 97th, one 95th, two at the 94th. Ten students scored at the 80th percentile or higher.

Reading scores were similar with thirteen scoring 80th or higher. Eight were at 90+.

How you can get the percentile.
For my case, I only get the score and score windows (for fall, winter or spring) in the iReady report.
Also the teacher sent an email to explain what are Grade Level for each section in the Math & Reading, because the details of sections in iReady test was not shown in the Report. ie: Math: Overall, Number & Operation, Algebra thinking, Measurement & Data, Geometry. Reading: Overall, phonics, Vocab, Comprehension, etc.

AAP or gen ed? If gen ed, is this in one of the wealthier schools?

PP is your school full of high achievers?

I had to ask for my kids. The school otherwise doesn't send it, I don't think.

Did a of you get notified of results by mail or something? I know my second grader took iready, I got no results.

I ready is not good because i feel like it give you a random number
