Week 2 Assignment 3


The videos and articles I have read and watched provided me with many new ideas on important practices needed to be implemented while teaching literacy. Since being literate is the most crucial thing in a person’s life, teachers must make it number their number one priority to understand and teach it to students in the most effective manner. A part of being literate is the mastering print awareness, speech, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension and spelling. When teachers help students master these skills they are giving them tools for life. 

As an educator I will work on helping my students master these important skills so that they can go on and read independently.

Week 3 Assignment 3

QRI-5, Qualitive Reading Inventory-5, is an  informal assessment method used to determine a child’s independent, instructional and frustration level. When administering QRI-5 ,students are given word lists and a few passages which determine the child’s ability to identify words, and the child’s comprehension skills. The purpose of this test is that it helps teachers determine what level text to use in the classroom, decide whether a child needs extra help, and group students properly for reading sessions. I have recently administrated a beginning of the year assessment that felt really similar to QRI-5. While assessing the student I first had her read me a list of words and then read to me two short passages. We used the results to determine where to place the students for reading groups . My impression of QRI-5 is that it is an assessment method worth using since it assesses the vital skills in literacy.
