Your Case Study Student
• What key things did you learn in their background?
• What things did you learn in preliminary info?
• What did you learn from the QRI so far?
• K-W-L
![Page 7: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Running Record & Miscue Analysis• (RW) Number of running words
• (E) Number of errors –meaning changing miscues
• (SC) Number of self-corrections
• Accuracy rate- 100-(E/RW *100)
• Error ratio- RW/E
• Self-correction ratio- SC/E+SC
• WCPM = (RW-E)/Time (in seconds); take number and multiply by 60 to get WCPM

Writing It Up• Text: level, familiar or not, genre, topic-
What type of text did the student read?
• Accuracy, self- correction, error ratio-How difficult was this text for the student?
• Words correct per minute- How fast did the student read?
• Self-corrections- Do they monitor & fix?
• Types of miscues (substitutions), omissions, insertions, types of words-What types of mistakes do they make?
• How did they sound as a reader?
![Page 9: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When writing up your findings…
1. Make a statement of performance
2. Back-up with selected information & examples
3. Write summary statement
![Page 10: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Make a statement of performance Jace demonstrates strong self-correction skills when
orally reading. Jace was asked to orally read a 2nd grade level expository passage from the QRI-4, Whales. The passage was unfamiliar to Jace.
![Page 11: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Back-up with selected information & examples
Jace read the passage at a rate of 67 words correct per minute. This is lower than would be expected for his grade, but is consistent with his word identification skills. Jace read with 92% accuracy, making this level passage (2nd grade) at the instructional level for him. He made 8 errors, 7 of which he self-corrected. All of his errors were substitutions, and most words were high-frequency words. (Examples)While reading he made many repetitions and pauses, which slowed down his overall reading. After reading, he was able to answer 5 out of 8 questions about the passage, but most answers came from his background knowledge.
![Page 12: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Write summary statement Based on this miscue analysis, we can see that
Jace is able to monitor and self-correct while reading. His slower pace is perhaps impacting comprehension. More information needs to be gathered to determine Jace’s difficulties within the area of word identification, specifically sight word knowledge and decoding abilities.
![Page 13: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Choose one skill you have assessed and write it up following this pattern:
1. Make a statement of performance
2. Back-up with selected information & examples
3. Write summary statement
![Page 14: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Preliminary Section Should Include:
• Getting to know you activities/outer circle– Retelling, LEA, writing, reading
• Observations you made• QRI• Initial Hypothesis of what is going
on- what is the pattern that you have found at this point
![Page 15: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Writing up the QRI:
• Look at example reports- high light paragraph
• Take your child’s information, put it on paper

Case Student Jace• Initial Profile:
– Word Identification: 1st grade
– Listening Comprehension: 4th grade
– Silent Reading Comprehension: 2nd grade
![Page 18: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Case Student Jace• Initial Profile:
– Word Identification: 1st grade
– Listening Comprehension: 4th grade
– Silent Reading Comprehension: 2nd grade
• Could identify through decoding 50% of the words up to 3rd grade
• Spelling mistakes are phonetic
• Misspelled several high frequency words in writing tasks
• Fluency rates averaged around 45 words per minute; accuracy was 80-85% on 1st and 2nd grade level passages
• Attempts to ‘sound out’ words considered high frequency
• Need to distinguish between sight words and decoding
![Page 19: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stage II Assessment
• The Stage I assessment provides an overall picture of a student’s relative strengths and weaknesses in the major areas.
• A Stage II assessment is only completed in the areas of relative weakness to provide a more sophisticated understanding of the nature of the relative weakness.
![Page 20: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Going Deeper: Analysis within Area of Weakness
• Using our Preliminary Information and Stage I assessment we will:
• Go to appropriate area of manual based on profile
• Design an assessment model that will answer the questions and hypothesis that come from ‘outer circle’ work
• Only test in the areas that are weaknesses; do not test strengths when time is of essence
• Keep smaller constructs in the context of the whole: silent reading comprehension
![Page 21: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

WORD IDENTIFICATIONAutomatic word recognition
and Mediated word identification
• Both are required for successful silent reading comprehension
• We are not allowed to make instructional decisions based on our philosophical beliefs or skills - we must find a way to teach both.

Questions/Levels of Word Identification Assessment
• Does the child have more automatic sight words or rely more on decoding?– Ratio of automatic words to decoded words
• What level of words is the child able to decode? – Single syllable, two-syllable, multi-syllabic– Onset-rime knowledge, particular patterns, word families– Affixes, prefixes, suffixes
• What does the child’s encoding(spelling) look like? – Developmental Spelling (Gentry)– Spelling Patterns(Words Their Way)
• If the child shows significant difficulty with decoding, and does not have an adequate sight word bank,– look at phonemic awareness, letter-identification, hearing sounds
in words, early developmental spelling

When Writing About One Test• State the name of the test/task performed
– Jace was given the Developmental Test of Word Recognition (McKenna & Stahl 2003).
• State the purpose of the test and what it addresses– This test assesses the areas of word concepts, initial and
final sounds, vowel coding, consonant blends, and polysyllabic word reading.
• State the range of scores the child achieved (full scores go in table)– Jace’s performance on the word concepts, initial and final
sounds was excellent with 100% accuracy in all three areas (5 out of 10, and 10 out of 10). On the vowel and long-vowel coding sections he had more difficult and scored 3 and 4 out of 10 respectively.
![Page 47: Assessment: A Literacy Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814560550346895db2338f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• State backup information or observations made.– Jace made several attempts to get the right answers and
commented on how hard he was trying. It was observed that Jace attempted a decoding strategy that was introduced in class while taking this test.
• Summary Statement– Therefore, Jace’s performance on this assessment
indicates he has solid skills in the areas of word concepts,and initial and final sounds for decoding, but is still struggling with vowel and long-vowel coding.
• Make connection to other testing situations/tasks if applicable– This is consistent with information seen in his spelling
and running records.
