Today’s ClassO Analyzing Miscue Analysis dataO Select Interest Inventories and SurveysO Discuss Lesson plan design and plans for

instructionO Practice assessing fluencyO Plan for Tutoring Sessions

Word Lists to Estimate Reading Level

OUse the Qualitative Reading Inventory-4 (Posted on the Wiki)

OThis will only give you a ballpark figure!OWhen using them to determine reading

level, start a level or two below the student’s grade level.

OUpon determining a grade level based on the word lists, ask a student to start reading (i.e., for a RR or MA) one level lower.

Conducting a Miscue AnalysisOReview the coding sheet

OQuestions about symbols or what the miscues mean?

OEvan’s reading of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

OWe will use the Qualitative Summary of Miscues to analyze

OStrengthsOAreas to focus instructionOFind strategies (Improving Reading, 208

text, Web sites, teacher resource books, readwritethink.org,

Developing Goals and Selecting Strategies

Reading Goal: Evan will use high frequency root words, prefixes, and suffixes to understand word meaning.

O Create a personal dictionary of words containing prefixes, suffixes and root words (Strickland, 2005)

O Flip a Chip: Use poker chips to combine prefixes, suffixes and root words to make words (readwrite think.org)

Interest Inventories and Surveys

Pair/Share:What tools or strategies did you

find in Improving Reading (or anywhere else) that you could use to get to know your student and learn how the see themselves as a reader and a writer?

Elements of Fluent Reading

O Automaticity of decodingO Appropriate reading rateO Appropriate volume, pitch, stress,

juncture or stress in one’s voiceO Appropriate phrasing

FluencyO AccuracyO RateO VolumeO ExpressionO Prosody (appropriate stress and

intonation of language)

(National Reading Panel Report, 2000)

Assessing Oral LanguageOTools we have for assessing fluency

and reading rate:O Oral reading rubricO Multidimensional Fluency Scale

Choose one of the methods and practice using it as we listen to Evan reading. (Video is posted on the Wiki. You can also use any of the other recordings as well). Or…

Assessing Reading RateReading rate is only a part of fluencyOther aspects of fluency (intonation, for

example) can be assessed using anecdotal records

Slow and labored reading can negatively impact comprehension

See procedures for measuring reading rateCan be done in conjunction with MACan also be done with silent reading, as long as

you time the student’s reading

Oral Reading Rate

Let’s try it for Evan (See pkt page for instructions)

1. Words in the passage= 2502. 250x60= 150003. Time the reading (150 seconds)4. 15000/150= 1005. Use the table (for “C(orrect)WPM,

subtract the number of miscues=12, from #4) So 88

Let’s Put it All TogetherRevisiting the Big Ideas and Assessment

ChartsWhat tools and assessments do we have

that we can use with our students?How can you assess the Big Five (NRP)

Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, Comprehension, Fluency, Vocabulary

What resources do we have for ideas for instructional strategies?

Planning for Tutoring Sessions

OTemplate is posted on the WikiOLook at examplesOWith a partner, discuss what you think

you might do for the first three sessions

OWhat might your goals be for the sessions?

OWhat books might you use?OWhat materials might you use?OWhat learning activities?

Next Time….O Look over Guidelines for Inquiry

Assignment and think about a literacy topic you would be interesting in exploring (see the list in the syllabus and check them out on amazon.com or the publisher’s web site)

O Read Ch. 3,4,5 of Choice WordsO Look at Comprehension materials on
