Inclusion of Educational Psychologist Report - BAS 2.
Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 11:35 pm
Hi
I have today had the results of a EP report (BAS II) and would appreciate some feedback before I submit it.
Literacy and Numeracy Skills:
Standard Score Centile Age Equivalent
Number Skills 126 96 18+
Spelling 109 73 14:3
Word Reading 142 99.7 17:3
Composite Scores:
Standard Score Percentile
Verbal Ability 108 70
Non-Verbal Reasoning 137 99.3
Spacial Ability 118 88
General IQ 125 95
I am nervous about including the report. I can see that DS has an innate ability for number skills but is not so great with verbal skills. From what I have read about the BAS II number skills scale is not directly related to school-based curricular experiences and provides the opportunity to challenge the application of knowledge outside of the usual situations. However, I believe that the Literacy Skills Scale relate very closely to the National Literacy Strategy. Can I therefore argue that a low vocabulary score can be down to poor teaching? I intend to use a 'satisfactory' Ofsted report from his primary school which criticises standards reached by the more able pupils in English.
