Week 9 assignment # 3

Summary 
QRI5 means Qualitative Reading Inventory and is a informal reading inventory that has word lists and passages per the student’s grade level.   QRI5 assess a student’s fluency with oral and silent reading and listening skills and can be used from pre-k to high school. It provides student data on identifying words and understanding text.  The QRI-5 can help determine a student’s independent, instructional and frustration level in reading.


DIBELS means Dynamic Indicators are a set of  Basic Early Literacy Skills.  It is a five minute assessment procedures. DIBELS evaluates alphabetic principle, phonological and phonemic awareness, comprehension, vocabulary, accuracy and fluency with text. Using this tool helps teachers to monitor the development of literacy skills.  This tool can be used to identify students that need additional instruction to prevent the student from being a struggling reader

Similarities
Like DIBELS, QRI5 provides assessment options. Both evaluate a students’ comprehension and fluency. Each test measures a students’ miscues in reading. Both evaluates a students reading abilities. Information from both can be used by teachers to design differentiation for the student.

Differences
Unlike DIBELS that measure from 1-6. QRI5 measures from 1 to high school levels. DIBELS is a faster tool to use to assess a students reading level. DIBELS also is a shorter test in comparison to QRI5. QRI5 rates students according to their reading levels independent and instructional.  QRI5 does not identify if the student demonstrates difficulty with phonics or phonemes QRI5 can be used as a preventative method for students showing signs as being a struggling reader.

Instructional planning and Decisions

DIBELS and QRI5 provides information on students for teachers to focus on certain areas for instructional planning. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of students allows teachers to emphasize more time on certain areas. These assessment tools provides teachers crucial information in creating IEP’s  for struggling students. The DIBELS test can be used to inform the teacher of the early literacy needs of a student. This allows the teacher to focus on the areas the student needs help. The data from the test can help a teacher design a lesson in the areas the student demonstrates need. The QRI5 provides essential information for the teacher to create an intervention strategy to help the areas the student demonstrates need.

Week 7


5 year old girl in Kindegarden

Print Awareness

I showed her an ABC chart and asked her to tell me the letters that I point to. Then I asked her to point to the A in the word APPLE on the chart and B in the word BAT on the chart  then I asked her to point to the letter Z. Then I asked her to point out the first letter of the word under the picture of elephant

Phonics

Using letter blocks , I had her pull a block from a bucket and say the sound it makes. Then I took out the letters ‘A ‘ and ‘T’ and put them together and asked her what sound they made. She did not know but when I put the letters ‘B’A’B’Y together she knew the sound

 Phonemic Awareness and sounds of speech: Hear me say a word

I model saying all the sounds of the word then I have her do the same

I model
If I say /p/   /i/   /g/ the word is . . .pig. Then I say a list of words and ask her what sounds they make


1.     Car

2.     Light

3.     Knock

4.     Sight

5.     Cat

6.     Play

She struggled with identifying word sounds, I had to guide her through the process.



Learning Activities to Reinforce Development

Phonics was a struggle, I would reinforce development using phonics games from jumpstart.com. Also activities such as worksheet that involve repetition. Flashcards would also be used to help with phonics development. I would also do a ABC activity to help identify letters to their sounds.

Week 5


Marys level in word identification: Level  Two
Total Accuracy :7  Miscues
WPM: 46
CWPM: 44



Mary's Strengths


Word Identification

Mary reads words with pretty good accuracy. She has a few mishaps with reading certain words but self corrects. She demonstrates that she has strength in comprehension because she is able to state details from what she has read.


Mary's Needs


Word Identification



Mary requires work in  word pronouciation, she had issues with the words “though” and through”. She needs  one and one practice using the chunking strategy. Also word phonemics practice would help Mary with her reading strategy.
