Case Study EDU 438 Literacy Assessment, Diagnosis, and Instruction
Kaila Huizinga
Introduction
The purpose of this case study was to fulfill the requirements of EDU 438. This project was designed to help me make observations on one particular student and make instructional decisions as time went on. During this case study I tutored one child, assessing her reading strengths and weaknesses. I provided materials and lesson plans that helped build on her strengths and help her with her weaknesses. My main goal was to have the student gain more confident and become a more established reader.

    Marie Clay Research Paper

    The Reading Recovery program has proven to be a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for low-achieving first graders. Individual students receive a half-hour lesson each school day for 12 to 20 weeks with a specially trained Reading Recovery teacher. The measurement of early literacy behaviors is as complex as the process of early literacy behaviors. Clay developed the Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement, which is the primary assessment tool used in the Reading Recovery program. Clay (2002) argues for continual and systematic observation of students reading behaviors over time.…

    My Literacy Analysis

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, I’m reminded of a variety of things, moments like going camping or riding a bicycle. But most importantly, being the oldest one and having to set an example for my sisters. It’s what I had to do since I was the oldest. If I didn’t advise my sisters on the right path since the beginning, then they wouldn't be as far up the trail of education as they are today.…
