I was impressed with the student’s ability to decode most words correctly. According to the miscue analysis the student had an accuracy of 93%. However most mistakes were visual and out of context. When she got to word she wasn’t familiar with she just said a word that was familiar or had similar letters. The words didn’t fit into the context of the story. I think this shows that she’s lacking comprehension skills. If she would have clear comprehension she would be able to figure out the correct word using context clues. To help my student with reading comprehension skills I will give over a mini lesson on tips to comprehension. Firstly, I will demonstrate by reading a book aloud and stopping to ask questions and summarize what I’ve read so far. I will tell the student to use Sticky notes to write down what happened so far and to make a prediction of what she thinks is going to happen. I will continue reading and stopping after every other page to write down on our post it note what we understand and how our prediction is changing. This will show the student how to stop, and think about what she’s reading to check for understanding. I hope this strategy will help my student with her comprehension.

I had a great experience doing a running record miscue analysis on a first grade student. The student was interested in trying her best and she did a great job. She had seven errors and 3 self-corrections that gave her a 93% accuracy rate. I was able to tell right away that her mistakes were visual since she mixed up word that looked like each other yet they were out of context. For example, the and then or through and though. I believe running records and using miscue analysis is a great and accurate way of assessing a student’s reading skills. It shows you exactly, where the student needs improvement. By marking each word the teacher can pinpoint to exactly what the student is struggling with. By analyzing the running record miscue analysis you can provide the student with whatever extra help they need to help them become a fluent reader. I believe this is an important type of assessment and will definitely implement it into my teachings.
