    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.…

    S’niya, a fourth-grade student at Miramar Elementary School, was given four assessments from a Scholastic resource packet that helps to determine what level of reading a student is currently achieving. The Scholastic resource assessments allow a teacher to establish an idea of the student’s reading proficiency and also helps to conclude what sort of instructional plan would best suit the needs of each individual student. With the Clinical Educator’s discretion, S’niya was assigned to complete a third-grade phonics and vocabulary assessment, and a fourth-grade phonics and vocabulary assessment. Based on past test scores, the teacher speculated that was a possibility that S’niya was not working on par with her grade level.…

    During the assessment when my student came across a word he didn’t know, he’d often times skip it or mumble passed it. I felt like if gaining his confidence and teaching him strategies he would become a more confident oral fluent reader. I also did several informal assessments while observing him in the classroom through the read next to assignment, listening to him read aloud in class, and looking at his coursework. In finding this out I felt there were two main areas I wanted to work on with my case study student one mainly oral reading fluency, but also support him in understanding constant digraphs. For his oral reading fluency, my case study student and I did activities such as choral reading, repetition sentences, and reading aloud together.…

    These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Trying to read when words do not make sense, can also be complicated for children who suffer this disability. On the other hand, when I was doing the simulation, I felt confused because the words I am used to see were nowhere in the text. Rather, letters were sometimes upside down, bigger, or in the incorrect order. For me, decoding most of the words was difficult, because in some cases, none of the letters were in the order they should have been.…

    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.…

    Beers defines reading automaticity as “a reader’s ability to recognize words without conscious decoding” (205). To help improve a reader’s fluency and automaticity, Beers suggests giving students various ways of hearing the text (215). To help with David’s pace while reading beers recommends determining his silent and oral reading rate. (209). In my next meeting with David, I measure what his reading rate is and I also plan on finding a more challenging text with multi syllable words and reading it aloud to him as he follows along so he will be familiar with the pronunciation of the words.…

    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.…
