Family-Friendly Translation
Your child is learning to find the big idea in what they read and point to clues in the text that prove it — a core 4th-grade skill.

See what it generates
A quick look at a sample input and the kind of goal it produces.

- • Needs support identifying main idea and supporting details
Student will identify main idea and 3 supporting details in a grade-level passage with 80% accuracy across 3 trials.
See IEPath Navigator in Action
Follow a fictional student through the four-step workflow. Example content for demonstration only.
M.K. is a 4th-grade student who reads grade-level passages with 92% accuracy but answers inferential comprehension questions correctly on only 4 out of 10 trials (40%) across three recent curriculum-based measures. He demonstrates strong vocabulary and actively participates in group discussions, but struggles to locate text evidence when asked "why" or "how" questions. Difficulty with inferential comprehension impacts his ability to access grade-level science and social studies content independently.
Strengths Identified
- Clear baseline data with percentages and trial counts
- Specific skill deficit named (inferential comprehension)
Suggestions
- Add reading level / Lexile range for the passages used
- Strengthen the link between baseline and proposed annual goal criteria
Given a 4th-grade-level narrative or informational text (condition), M.K. will answer inferential comprehension questions and cite at least one piece of supporting text evidence (skill) with 80% accuracy across 4 out of 5 consecutive weekly probes (measurable criteria).
Skill
Inferential comprehension w/ text evidence
Condition
Grade-level passages
Criteria
80%, 4 of 5 consecutive probes
Monitoring
Weekly CBM reading probes
Technical IEP language
Student will demonstrate inferential comprehension of grade-level text with 80% accuracy on 4 of 5 consecutive weekly CBM probes.
Family-friendly version
M.K. is learning to answer "why" and "how" questions about what he reads, and to point to the words in the story that show his answer. We'll check his progress once a week. You'll see this at home when he starts explaining the reasons behind characters' choices or facts in a book — not just what happened.
