Announcements Tutoring Kits Tutoring Kits due on Wednesday February 15 O Questions about this? O What materials are you starting with? O Take a minute to look through your packet, texts, etc. that you think will be useful

Today’s Class O Analyzing Miscue Analysis data O Select Interest Inventories and Surveys O Discuss Lesson plan design and plans for instruction O Practice assessing fluency O Plan for Tutoring Sessions

Word Lists to Estimate Reading Level O Use the Qualitative Reading Inventory-4 (Posted on the Wiki) O This will only give you a ballpark figure! O When using them to determine reading level, start a level or two below the student’s grade level. O Upon 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 Analysis O Review the coding sheetcoding sheet O Questions about symbols or what the miscues mean? O Evan’s reading of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Evan’s reading of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix O We will use the Qualitative Summary of Miscues to analyze O Strengths O Areas to focus instruction O Find strategies (Improving Reading, 208 text, Web sites, teacher resource books, readwritethink.org,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) Flip a Chip:

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 decoding O Appropriate reading rate O Appropriate volume, pitch, stress, juncture or stress in one’s voice O Appropriate phrasing

Fluency O Accuracy O Rate O Volume O Expression O Prosody (appropriate stress and intonation of language) (National Reading Panel Report, 2000)

Assessing Oral Language O Tools we have for assessing fluency and reading rate: O Oral reading rubric O 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… or or

Assessing Reading Rate  Reading rate is only a part of fluency  Other 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 rate Can be done in conjunction with MA Can 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= x60= Time the reading (150 seconds) /150= Use the table (for “C(orrect)WPM, subtract the number of miscues=12, from #4) So 88

Let’s Put it All Together Revisiting the Big Ideas and Assessment Charts  What 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 O Template is posted on the Wiki Template O Look at examples examples O With a partner, discuss what you think you might do for the first three sessions O What might your goals be for the sessions? O What books might you use? O What materials might you use? O What 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 Words O Look at Comprehension materials on the Wiki O Sign up for a dropbox.com account
