WEEK5 : Adminstering QRI5

Assignment#1  Mary is a third grade student in the 4th quarter of school who was identified as a English Language Learner and received "pullout" intervention in the resource room. Mary's first language is Spanish as well. The examiner started her off with Grade level 1 reading because we usually start with two grades below a student current grade level and than move up. Mary did well on grade level 1 reading independently with 18 words correct out of 18 and 2 identified, for this reason she was given grade level 2 word list. Which she read 17 words correct  15 were automatic and 2 were identified out of the 20 given to her which puts her on the borderline of instructional. 

Assignment#2: Mary was on the instructional grade level 2 reading so the examinator gave her grade level 3 word list. This was done to make sure level 2 is the right passage for her to begin being assessed at. Mary got 4 out of the 20 in this level correct. This proves now that instructional grade level 2 is best for Mary and where she is at as a reader. 

Assignment#3: Mary was reading at a frustration level in the 3 word list because of this the examiner stopped and decided to being the comprehensive assessment with Level 2 passage. The examiner started with Level 2 expository passage Whales and Fish reason for this is because students do better with text with story structure. I feel she read the passage well overall but needed to correct herself at times with certain words. She did understand what she was reading so her comprehension to the passage was there. 

Assignment#4: Based on the examiners scoring sheet I have determined Marys strengths and needs . 

Number of total Miscues is 10. Number of meaning - change miscues is 5. Words Per Minute  (46)  Correct Words Per Minute (44) This makes her at the instructional level .  I feel mary needs instructional help with pronouncing words , she tends to hold back and shy off from unfamiliar words.  From her being able to have confidence to sound out the words I feel she would have did a good job at that. Overall I think she did really good work and those are the changes I would make and work with her on as a student to help enhance her confidence in pronouncing unfamiliar words.
