Start with the referral question
Ask what the assessment was trying to clarify. Interpretation should answer that question rather than becoming a tour of every number.
Separate raw evidence from interpretation
Scores, observations and informant reports are different types of evidence. Good interpretation explains how they fit together.
Look for relative patterns
A learner may have strong reasoning and slower output, or strong comprehension with weaker reading fluency. Relative differences can matter educationally.
Read recommendations in context
A useful recommendation should be linked to the learner’s pattern and the actual demands of home or school.
