Complex Sentences Progress Monitoring Data Sheets Editable

About this resource

Everything inside: 26 pages, 1052 type-in fields · a detailed session sheet for the causal connector ("because"), a separate one for the temporal connector ("when"), and a third for the conditional connector ("if"), each with a 10-trial grid and a sample 10-item sentence-starter bank · a written sentence-combining practice page for the two coordinating connectors ("and" / "but") that the student holds and writes on, with its own adult-only answer key and scoring strip · a quick combined daily check · a within-session frequency chart with a 4-session quick-trend table · a whole-caseload roster · a binder cover and 4 cut-out tabs · a two-page, 4-connector, 12-session tracker and graph · a quarterly summary · a family update · a 20-starter phrase bank · a plain-language paraprofessional/classroom form · a worked, invented example.

Speech-language pathologists and special educators are asked to show whether a complex-sentence goal is changing, across however many students are on a caseload — not just whether one goal's forms were run, and not spread across a seven-domain pack that also carries plurals, verb tense, pronouns, WH-questions and negation. This file is the complex-sentence-only slice: run the causal sheet, the temporal sheet, the conditional sheet, hand the student the written and/but practice page, or run the quick combined check, mark what the response actually was, add the session up on one chart, and roll it into a report and a family update that write themselves. Every mark on every page says only whether a response matched the target connector structure as judged that session — never a score against a published norm, a name for a condition, or a rule for when a referral is warranted.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 26 pages

Set Up The Caseload

• Code Key: Recording Marks, Domains and Levels — 4 response marks (+/−/SC/NR), 4 connector codes (CAUS/TEMP/COND/COMB), 4 cue-level codes, 4 progress-status codes, 3 generalization levels (sentence frame/structured conversation/spontaneous), every descriptor a blank line the team defines

• Complex Sentences Caseload Roster — 14 rows: student, connector(s) tracked, current level, last session, next session due

• Binder Cover and Divider Tabs — a spine/cover card, 4 cut-out tabs matching the file's sections, and an 11-row "where to find things" index

Take The Data

• Causal Connector Data Sheet (Because) — a sample 10-item sentence-starter bank, a 10-session trial grid, criterion and cued-trial fields

• Temporal Connector Data Sheet (When) — the same shape for the temporal connector: a sample 10-item sentence-starter bank, a 10-session trial grid

• Conditional Connector Data Sheet (If) — the same shape again for the conditional connector: a sample 10-item sentence-starter bank, a 10-session trial grid

• Join the Sentences — And/But Practice — a student-held written page (no adult-facing text, per docs/ops/student-page-standard.md): 8 sentence-pair items (4 "and", 4 "but"), each with room to write the combined sentence

• Answer Key and Scoring — And/But Practice — the matching adult-only page: a sample accepted combination for each of the 8 items and an 8-row scoring strip, never handed to the student

• Quick Daily Complex Sentence Check — a 14-row log for whichever connector and context actually came up that day, trading the fixed starter set for speed

• Frequency Correct/Incorrect Chart — one row per connector (4 rows) plus an optional combined-totals row, tallying presented/correct/incorrect/self-corrected/no-response for the session, plus an optional 4-session quick-trend table (4 rows x 4 sessions) and a 4-item "when to change something" checklist

• Paraprofessional and Classroom Carryover Form — 12 rows, plain words instead of codes, for the adult in the room who is not the SLP or case manager

Track, Report And Share

• Cumulative Accuracy Tracker — Causal and Temporal — two full 12-session blocks, with date, level and percent correct logged each session

• Cumulative Accuracy Tracker — Conditional and Combining — the same two-block shape for the remaining connectors; the combining block is scored out of 8, not 10

• Progress Graph — a scaled 0–100 grid to plot the trend, with an aim line

• Quarterly Progress Summary — a 4-row table (one per connector: baseline, current level, status, one sentence), settings/percent/next-step fields, two write-on cards, and a 4-item "before this goes in the report" checklist

• Family Update — Complex Sentences at Home — a ready-to-send communication page: what was worked on and which connector, a connector that is going well, one connector to try at home, family questions and answers, and a 7-day practiced table

• Progress Note Phrase Bank — 20 observable-language starters across 4 groups (causal/temporal connectors, conditional connector and written combining, generalization across settings, the quarterly-report sentence), every one ending in a blank pulled from a data sheet in the file

Plus a Start Here quick-start, a 3-section contents page with real page thumbnails, 3 section dividers, and a "what's next" back page.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a field, type, Save As once per student. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or an Excel workbook, and it does not score a response against a published norm or compute a percent for you.

It is not Morphosyntax and Grammar Development Progress Monitoring Editable — that file spreads a caseload's tools across SEVEN grammar domains (plurals, regular past tense, present tense, pronouns, WH-questions, negation, complex sentences), so a team that only needs complex-sentence data still buys and navigates all seven, and it never printed a fixed sentence list for the domain in the first place. It is also not a duplicate of the store's live multiple-choice probe that asks a student to pick which of two already-combined sentences is correct — that is a recognition task with fixed forms; this file is the caseload data-sheet / ongoing-tracking system, with open-ended production on three connectors and one written production task on the fourth. No page in this file names a condition, states an age or a milestone, or sets a rule for when a referral is warranted; every criterion is a blank line the team writes in from the IEP and its own judgment. The sentence starters are an informal, invented sample stimulus set built for this file, not a standardized instrument — swap in your own. No health data is pre-filled anywhere, and the example student (Devin K.) is invented and named as such on page 25.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education case managers with a complex-sentence goal on the caseload, plus the paraprofessionals and general education teachers who help collect the data.
