Rationale: Well below mastery (56%) with significant gaps in foundational skills. Letter knowledge and phonemic awareness both <60%. Recommend starting Level A with extended timeline (3+ days per lesson) and intensive pre-teaching of letter sounds. Consider additional diagnostics for learning disabilities.
Flagged Issues:
- Significantly below mastery
- Foundational skill gaps
- May need alternative intervention
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Started Lesson 1 with 1:1 support and referral for special education evaluation

Flagged Issues:
- No growth after 5 weeks
- Letter sounds declining
- Retention issues
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Returned to Lesson 1, moved to 1:1 instruction with multisensory approach

Target: Alternative Program
Rationale: Minimal growth over 9 weeks (56% → 57%). Letter sound knowledge declining (50%). Student is non-responsive to Phonics for Reading approach despite intensive modifications. Recommend alternative intervention program (e.g., Wilson, Orton-Gillingham) with more explicit, multisensory methodology.
Flagged Issues:
- Non-responder to current program
- Declining letter knowledge
- Needs alternative intervention approach
⚠️ Teacher Decision: Override
Action Taken: Continued with PFR but added Wilson sound cards as supplemental
Rationale: Waiting for SPED evaluation results before making major program change

Rationale: After 13 weeks, student shows minimal growth (56% → 58%) and remains well below mastery. Task A (phonics knowledge) declining to 47%. Current program is not meeting student's needs. STRONGLY recommend exiting Phonics for Reading and transitioning to alternative program better suited to student's learning profile. Coordinate with SPED team for comprehensive intervention plan.
Flagged Issues:
- Confirmed non-responder
- 13 weeks with no meaningful progress
- Phonics knowledge declining
- Immediate program change needed
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Exited from PFR and enrolled in Wilson Reading System Tier 3 program
Rationale: SPED evaluation confirmed dyslexia. Student now receiving Wilson 1:1 with specialized teacher.
