The student’s universal screening scores were below the average at the start of beginning-of-year benchmark. This was indicative of struggling student in the reading skill. Consequently, Savannah’s reading performance was monitored for seven weeks with a goal of improving the score to 15 words per minute. The Vanderbilt Word Identification Fluency probe was administered to determine the reading inadequacy.
