|
What assessments are used to determine students reading levels? |
An IRI is a collection of assessments administered individually to students. For an IRI one adult gives the assessment to one student. The selection of the IRI depends on students reading level. |
|
|
What are some kinds of assessments that are included in an informal reading inventory (IRI)? |
1. Word recognition 2. Graded reading passage 3. Reading interest survey 4. Assessment measuring concepts about print 5. Phonemic awareness assessments 6. Phonics assessment 7. Assessments of reading fluency 8. Structural analysis assessments 9. Vocabulary assessments 10. Spelling tests |

|
What is a purpose of a word recognition list? |
They serve 3 purposes 1. To provide a rough guess of the child's reading level so that whoever is administering the tests knows where to start on the graded reading passage. 2. To provide information on the child's sight vocabulary, the words the child can correctly identify 3. Provide info about students ability to use sound-symbol relationships (phonics) to decide words. The child's errors will provide a partial picture of what letters and letter combinations the child knows and which ones he needs to learn. |
|
|
Which assessment is the most important part of the IRI ( informal reading inventory) |
The graded reading passage |
|
|
What is a miscue analysis? |
Examining a record of a students oral reading to identify and classify errors. ( a student reads aloud a passage and the teacher keeps a detailed record of the students performance. |
|
|
What are the graphophonemic errors? |
These errors are related to the sound-symbol relationship for English, such as reading feather or father. The word sounds alike, but feather wouldn't make sense in a sentence where the correct word is father. A child who continually makes graphophonemic errors is either a) reading word by word and depending too much on phonics to decide each word or B) reading a passage that is too hard or they are not using the meaning of the sentences and paragraphs to decide words ( contextual clues). |
|
|
What are semantic errors? |
Meaning related errors such as reading dad instead of father. The student has relied too much on the semantic cueing system and hasn't use graphophonemic clues. A child who repeatedly makes semantic errors understands what they are reading but needs to be taught to use phonics skills to be sure that every word read makes sense from a graphophonemic sense. |
|
|
What are common strategies for struggling and students with learning disabilities? |
1. Re-teach what is not mastered. Use visual, kin esthetic and tactile activities. 2. Teach things in manageable units. 3. Provide concrete examples |
|
|
What are common strategies meeting the needs for EL and speakers of non-standard English? |
1. Take advantage of transfer of relevant skills and knowledge from the first language A)?English/Spanish cognates: active/ activo , artist/ artista, color/color 2. Teach vocabulary with concrete items, pictures, charts and diagrams. 3. Modeling |
|
|
What are common strategies for meeting the needs of advanced learners? |
1. Increase pace and complexity 2. Extend the depth of discussion 3. Build on extending current skills |
|
|
What is the difference between a skill and a strategy? |
A skill is something that a reader does automatically. The ability to decode is a skill. Example: knowing the c in cake is a hard sound and makes the "k" sound whereas the c in city is soft and makes the s sound. A strategy is something a reader consciously chooses to implement. |
