Upon reviewing Ingrid’s
scores, I would let her grandma know that her granddaughter is well above
average in the reading comprehension section of the standardized achievement
test. She is also above average in science and social studies. A weaker point
is in math computation and spelling. The good news is that she is not too off
from the average scores for her age group.
For advice on improving these scores, I would mention that since she understands math concepts at the average crossing into the above average section that she understands the process, but just needs more help with practicing to compute the numbers correctly via flashcards or math games. For spelling, I would suggest practicing with words in general, with more exposure to books and other texts. I would also remind the grandma to focus more on students individual progress rather than her age group. This can assure that you are awarding her for personal achievement and gain instead of the comparative angle, which can often discourage students and discounts student who do not do as well on standardized tests.
