Every score traces to the publisher PDF. Descriptors come from the publisher's own bands — nothing invented. Identifying data stays in your files. The typing and double-checking come off your plate so you get evenings back with students, not with Word.
The errors that embarrass us are almost never clinical. They're clerical.
Every paragraph is built from this student's record, so there's no leftover name or wrong pronoun from last week's report.
Scores come straight from the publisher's score report. No transcription, no transposed digits, and the publisher's printed value always wins.
Each score lands in its own table and its own sentence, and every number in the prose is checked against the cell it came from.
Uniform with your district's template and house style — whoever on your team writes it.
Jargon-free explanations of what each score means for this student — without losing the precision the report needs.
"The WMI SS of 79 (8th %ile) fell in the Very Low range, indicating a normative weakness."
"Holding and working with information in mind was harder for Maya than for most students her age — about 92 out of 100 same-age students scored higher. Maya's score was 79, in the Very Low range."
The one-page parent handout. A friendly, single-page summary of the report in everyday language — what we looked at, what we found, and what happens next — for families to take home.
