My child is an English Learner, and scored “Above, At, or Close To Grade Level”. Why is he/she expected to continue next year in a special English Language Development class?
Congratulations to your child! In addition to students listening, speaking, and writing abilities, reading skills play a large part in determining English fluency. If your English Learner student scored above, at, or close to grade level on the SDRT, we encourage you to contact the school to have him/her evaluated for possible reclassification to fluent English status.
