Within normal limits

Reports use within normal limits, or WNL, to say a score fell inside the average Descriptive range The words a report uses to sum up a score, like 'average' or 'extremely low'. Tests draw these bands in their own places, so the same word can mean different scores. Read the full definition of Descriptive range range for a child's age. That tells you how your child performed on one task, in a quiet room, usually with one friendly adult and no distractions. It does not measure how they manage in a noisy classroom, with friendships, or at the end of a long day. If the scores say average but your child is clearly struggling, say so. What you see every day is evidence too, and it belongs in the assessment.
