Week 3 Assignment 3


Qualitative Reading Inventory-5

1. What is QRI-5 - Qualitative Reading Inventory-5?
The QRI-5 is an informal reading inventory that is administered individually and is not a norm-referenced or standardized instrument. It provides information about "conditions under which students can identify words and comprehend text successfully and conditions that appear to result in unsuccessful word identification or comprehension". Like other informal reading inventories, the QRI-5 provides graded word lists and numerous passages designed to assess the oral and silent reading and listening ability of students from the pre-primer 1 through the high school levels. 

2. What is the purpose of using QRI-5? 
the assessment is used to identify a student's reading level, which texts they can read independently, which is their instructional level, and which texts are on the level of frustration. Teachers use this inventory as a valuable diagnostic tool, that provides accurate information as to where to begin or change intervention instruction. The results of the assessment can be used to group students for guided reading sessions, to choose appropriate books for literacy circles, reading workshops, and independent reading. 
3. Have you seen similar assessment activities like QRI5? What are they?
The phonics Inventory is also an assessment that provides information as to which phonemes the students can decode successfully. 

4. What is my impression of QRI-5?
This seems to be a great indicator of where a student's reading is holding. It is individual for the student and allows teachers to develop appropriate instruction based on the results.

    What do you mean hold? Should we always have a progression on our reading?

      The QRI Assessment is a great indicator of the level of text the students are able to read at the independent level, instructional level, and frustration level. Yes, children should always be progressing their reading skills and this assessment can determine where to begin intervention or change the current intervention plan.

Week 9 Assignment 3

Although these assessments focus on determining a student’s level of literacy skills, and should be used within the classroom, they have different purposes and goals. They are both necessary to administer, depending on the need of the individual child. The DIBELS is mainly used as a screening test, to determine early literacy skills including Phonemic Awareness, Alphabetic Principles, Fluency and basic comprehension. This assessment can locate the struggling students to implement initial intervention immediately. The DIBELS is done through a series of fluency tests, that all take one minute to administer. The test results indicate if a student is falling below grade benchmarks, or if the child’s literacy skills are on par with grade level. On the contrary, the QRI is a more intensive assessment that includes a combination of miscue analysis, reading comprehension on both expository and narrative texts, fluency, and site words. This test affords teachers with a more complete and ...

Week 11 - Comprehension

Expository text can be challenging for young readers because of the unfamiliar concepts and vocabulary it presents. One of the most efficient strategies for which there is an influx of research and practice is training students on text structure knowledge to increase and support their comprehension of the expository texts. When readers know the different text structures, they can predict how the information will be displayed and written. Students who understand the idea of text structure and how to analyze it are likely to gain more of an understanding of text than students who lack this skill. When students have a clear understanding of text structure and text organization it increases their level of comprehension. Understanding the text structure helps students find the information they want within a text. It is important for teachers to model and teach strategies on recognizing specific text structures, by noticing the different components of a text. Teachers should teach explicitl...

Week 12 - Assignment 1 and 2

Technology integration is meant to facilitate the development of our student’s cognitive skills. Technology should be used as an extension of the mind, where students are required to use their cognitive and technology skills simultaneously instead of learning solely from the technology.  In the 21st century students can benefit greatly through effective technology integration. Teachers must take advantage of technology and encourage students to produce exemplary work. Through the links and article provided, I gained some ideas on how and why to integrate technology into the classroom. As a teacher I would take advantage of the professional development opportunities to enhance my knowledge regarding technology integration. Also, teachers need to ensure that all students have equal access to the material to all the technology that is included into the lesson. Technology is something that can enhance every lesson and teachers need to work on how to utilize the opportunity. Ther...
