MPLE
General: If a student was previously administered the MPLE, after MOY, begin with Serie 14. You may drop back to a lower Serie if a student finds these tasks too difficult.
Optional tasks: Use these to better inform your instruction.
New Users: Start with Serie 14 and continue forward.
It is strongly recommended that after the MOY benchmark, that the first progress monitoring assessment be “Serie 14”, no matter where the student left off before the benchmark. PDA users may be automatically routed to Serie 14 depending on your provider.
Remember, however, that the MPLE offers lots of flexibility, so if needed you can start your optional tasks at the beginning of a sequence, if they have not been previously administered OR from where you left off before your MOY benchmark OR from the Serie 14 point, depending on your student needs.

25. MPLP 24 General: Re-establish baselines ONLY for:
Any first grade students still reading the word lists.
Any second or third grade students reading off grade level stories.
If a student is UNABLE to re-establish a baseline, continue reading the story (or word list) progression they were on before MOY.
