Episode 18 - What to do When Progress Monitoring Scores Aren't Moving

In this episode, we tackle one of the toughest moments in intervention: when you’ve been faithfully tracking progress, but the data just isn’t budging. We share how to recognize whether it’s a true trend or just an off day, and how to dig deeper when scores consistently stall. You’ll learn how to use the Simple View of Reading to diagnose whether the root issue is word recognition, language comprehension, or both, and practical strategies for adjusting instruction without losing momentum. We also discuss the importance of setting realistic, measurable goals and celebrating small wins to keep students motivated.
