Satisfactory -- Students scoring at the "satisfactory" level are performing in the range that is typically associated with grade-level expectations. These students use basic reading skills to comprehend grade-appropriate text. In particular, these students comprehend simple fiction and nonfiction; use context clues -- support conclusions with details -- compare and contrast -- understand literary elements -- recognize simple figurative language -- explain cause-effect relationships -- recognize problem-solving processes -- and evaluate solutions.

Unsatisfactory -- Students scoring at the "unsatisfactory" level lack the basic reading skills needed to meet typical grade-level expectations. Although some students in this group may be near the "satisfactory" level and may be progressing in their reading skills, they are still performing at a low enough level to generate concern. In particular, these students identify context clues, literal problems and main idea in fiction and nonfiction text -- may recognize obvious similarities, simple cause-effect relationships, literary elements and authors purpose -- and use text to initiate research.
