In which section of a student's IEP should reading comprehension scores be included?

The appropriate section of a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) to include reading comprehension scores is the Present Level of Academic Achievement. This section provides a comprehensive overview of the student's current skills and performance in academic areas, including strengths and weaknesses. By including reading comprehension scores here, educators and stakeholders can understand the student's current abilities and how they are performing in relation to their peers. This information is vital for setting measurable goals and determining necessary accommodations or modifications to support the student's educational needs.

In contrast, the other sections serve different purposes, such as outlining the services the student will receive, describing how the student will participate in state and district assessments, or specifying adaptations in teaching methods or materials. These sections focus on service delivery and instructional strategies rather than current academic performance levels.
