Reading Inventory (IRI)? - Answer :1. Word Recognition Lists
Quiz :What is the purpose of a word recognition list? - Answer :They serve 3
purposes:
1. to provide a rough guess of the child's reading level so that whoever is
administering the tests knows where to start on the graded reading passages.
2. to provide information on the child's "sight" vocabulary, the words the child
can correctly identify
3. provide information about the student's ability to use sound-symbol
relationships (phonics) to decode words. The child's errors will provide a partial
picture of what letters and letter combinations the child knows and which ones
he or she needs to learn.
Quiz :Which Assessment is the most important part of the IRI? - Answer :The
graded reading passages.
Quiz :What is a miscue analysis? - Answer :Examining a record of a student's
oral reading to identify and classify errors. ( a student reads aloud a passage
and the teacher keeps a detailed record of the student's performance).
Quiz :What are Graphophonemic Errors? - Answer :These errors are related to
the sound-symbol relationships for English, such as reading feather or father.
The words sounds alike, but feather wouldn't make sense in a sentence where
the correct word is father. A child who repeatedly makes graphophonemic
errors is either a) reading word by word and depending too much on phonics
to decode each word b) reading a passage that is too difficult, or they are not
using the meaning of the sentences and paragraphs to decode words
(contextual clues).
Quiz :What are Semantic Errors? - Answer :Semantic Errors are meaning-
related errors, such as reading dad for father. The student has relied too much
on the semantic cueing system - and hasn't used graphophonemic clues. A
, child who repeatedly makes semantic errors understands what the are reading
but needs to be taught to use phonics skills to be sure that every word read
makes sense from a graphophonemic sense.
