Gianna’s overall performance on this composite was in the Below Average range (SS=83; PR=13). Three subtests comprise the Reading Fluency Composite: Silent Reading Fluency, Word Recognition Fluency, and Decoding Fluency. On the Silent Reading Fluency task, Gianna was required to silently read simple sentences and mark ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ For instance, Gianna might read the question ‘Is the ocean orange?’ and then mark ‘no.’ She was asked to complete as many items as possible within a two-minute time limit. Gianna performed within the Average range (Silent Reading Fluency: SS=92; PR=30).

Next, Gianna was asked to read isolated words aloud as quickly as possible during two 15-second trials (Word Recognition Fluency). She performed within the Below Average range (Word Recognition Fluency: SS=84; PR=14). Finally, Gianna was required to read isolated nonsense words aloud as quickly as possible during two 15-second trials (Decoding Fluency). She performed within the Below Average range (Decoding Fluency: SS=81; PR=10).

    Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words. Knowing the skills that the students possess will assist the teacher in selecting reading tasks that offer the most effective reinforcement of those phonics skills.…

This data gave him a total of seventy-three words per minute. Shevaun read with prosody as he paid attention to phrases in quotation marks and read it with rhythm.

    Focus student one showed a 70% accuracy when asked to identify and sort pictures of objects into conceptual categories, a 59% accuracy when asked to identify and match all upper and lower case letter with prompting, and a 75% accuracy when asked to retell the main ideas or important facts from a read aloud. Based on these scores, I plan to raise the accuracy percentage goal for identifying and sorting colors, maintain the percentage accuracy goal for identifying upper and lower case letters, and raise the accuracy percentage goal for retelling main ideas or important facts. In terms of learning goals, the focus student has a bilateral hearing loss, therefore his learning goal will be to use self-advocating skills to ask for help or repetition of a question. The areas of growth that will be focused on for the sequence of lessons are organization of objects into categories, letter identification, and sequencing.…

    With the synthesis of several studies, they found a correlational relationship with decoding and linguistic comprehension to reading comprehension, and summarized that decoding and linguistic comprehension are unrelated; however, both related to reading comprehension. During the early grades correlation between decoding and reading comprehension is stronger than linguistic comprehension, but in the later grades the relationship between linguistic comprehension and reading comprehension becomes stronger. The SVR has scientific support from several studies, and the decoding has an important emphasis on phonemic awareness, and other phonological processes (Paul, Wang, & Williams,…

    Miscue Analysis Essay

    • 617 Words
    • 3 Pages

    A miscue is a place in which a reader's observed response (what the reader reads) does not match the expected response (what is printed in the text) (Goodman, Watson, & Burke, 2005). The term miscue is used instead of the term mistake because of the negative connotations associated with the words error and mistake. Thus, in order to observe in these group of students the aforementioned processes, I aim to develop what is called a Miscue Analysis and a Retrospective Miscue Analysis, in which researchers and teachers observe patterns that occur in oral reading and target appropriate strategies to the individual reader. Miscue Analysis allows researchers and teachers to identify reading strategies that the reader is using to make sense of printed text.…
