Example Output
IEP Progress Report — Q3
Goal 1: Reading Comprehension
**Summary:** Ava is making steady progress identifying the main idea and two supporting details in grade-level passages when given a graphic organizer. She now does this independently in 4 out of 5 trials, up from 2 out of 5 at the start of the reporting period.
**Evidence:** Weekly reading probes, classroom work samples from Feb 12 and Mar 3, and teacher observation logs.
**On Track?:** Yes, currently on track to meet the annual goal if current supports remain in place.
**Next Steps:** Continue pre-teaching vocabulary, maintain the graphic organizer, and add one short independent practice task each week.
**Family Note:** At home, ask Ava to tell you the "big idea" of a short article or video and one detail that supports it.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Paste the exact IEP goal language first, then add your notes, so the report stays anchored to measurable targets
- 💡Ask for parent-friendly wording if the raw data is full of acronyms and specialist jargon
- 💡Use the compliance check to catch vague phrases like "doing better" that will not hold up in documentation
