A friendly walkthrough of the June 2, 2026 annual IEP — what's going well, where the focus is, and the supports in place for the year ahead.
Kelly is a friendly, social fourth grader who has made substantial progress this year — he passed both the Reading and Math SOL assessments. His learning plan focuses on four areas, with eight goals to work toward. He works best with direct, explicit instruction and short, clear directions.
Decoding longer words, reading fluency, and spelling (encoding).
Multiplication and division at grade level.
Building multi-paragraph essays with richer sentences.
Specific vocabulary, complex sentences, inferences, and retelling.
A look at the assessment data behind the plan. Test scores are one snapshot among many — these are the numbers the team used to set this year's goals.
Fractions and addition/subtraction are strong; the harder multiplication & division and data units are this year's growth areas.
Where Kelly landed by percentile (higher is stronger). Spelling is a relative strength; word reading is the priority.
Each area of need in the IEP lists what Kelly does well and where he's growing. Here's that summary, area by area.
Each goal is specific and measurable. Progress is reported to parents quarterly, at the same time report cards go out.
These supports are used daily, across all settings, for the length of the IEP.
Kelly will take the Grade 5 SOL assessments with accommodations. Which support applies depends on the test.
