🌟 100% of the students are already at or above benchmark

🔵 89% above
🟢 11% at

Interesting EOY K screening tidbit…

Only ONE student w composite score below benchmark:

Phoneme Segmentation Fluency at benchmark

Nonsense Word Fluency above benchmark (was below at MOY)

But: Letter Naming Fluency score of 3.

Very successful reader w/o letter names (yet).
