Assignment #4

Mary did not seem to have much prior knowledge about whales and fish. On the Oral Reading Miscue Analysis, Mary scored on the instructional level for accuracy and at the independent level for acceptability. Mary also scored at the instructional level for the Assessment of Comprehension through Unaided Recall.

Overall, this passage seemed to be at the instructional level for Mary. This means that Mary should continue to receive such passages for reading, not below the instructional level and not above until level 2 passages become at her independent reading level. I feel that Mary is doing well even though she is at level 2 when she should be at level 3 because she is an ELL. I feel that Mary needs more practice in first just word decoding before comprehension, because once she can read more accurately only then can she focus on the content. After more practice on word decoding on level 2 and them on reading comprehension on level 2, I feel that soon she will be on level three. It is just a matter of practicing and reading more and more.
