Study Notes
Informal Reading Inventory (IRI)
- A collection of individual assessments designed to determine a student's reading level.
Types of IRI
- Includes Word Recognition Lists, Graded Reading Passages, Reading Interest Surveys, and assessments for concepts about print, phonemic awareness, reading fluency, structural analysis, and vocabulary.
Word Recognition List
- Comprises 10 words per list to assess reading level and sight vocabulary and phonics decoding ability.
Graded Reading Passages
- Considered the most critical component of the IRI; students read aloud from K-8 grade-level passages, allowing for the measurement of errors, such as miscue analysis, graphophonemic, semantic, and syntactic errors.
Miscue Analysis
- A method for categorizing and analyzing a student's oral reading errors.
Graphophonemic Error
- Involves errors related to sound-symbol relationships in English (e.g., "reading feather for father"), indicating overreliance on phonics or inappropriate difficulty level.
Semantic Errors
- Meaning-related errors where the student understands the text but makes phonics-based mistakes (e.g., "reading dad for father").
Syntactic Errors
- Errors occurring in the same part of speech as the correct word (e.g., "reading into for through"), signaling a need for better phonics attention.
Reading Level Definitions
- Frustration Level: Child struggles with passage comprehension, cannot read at least 90% of words or answer 60% of questions correctly.
- Instructional Level: Highest level where the student reads 90% of words correctly and answers at least 60% of questions correctly.
- Independent Level: Highest level where the student reads 95% of words correctly and answers 90% of comprehension questions correctly.
Retelling
- A comprehension measurement technique requiring students to recount characters, places, and events from the passage in their own words.
Phonological Awareness
- Awareness that oral English consists of smaller units, enabling manipulation of sounds on different levels.
Phonemic Awareness
- The ability to discern individual phonemes within spoken words.
Phonics
- Understanding of letter-sound correspondences.
Alphabetic Principle
- The concept that letters represent speech sounds.
Phoneme
- The smallest unit of sound in speech.
Graphemes
- The letters representing phonemes.
Onsets and Rime
- Components of single syllables: Onset is the initial consonant(s), while Rime includes the vowel sound and any subsequent consonants.
Phonograms/Rime
- Word families sharing the same phonogram, such as -at (e.g., cat, bat, sat).
Teaching Phonological and Phonemic Awareness
- Techniques include Word Awareness, Syllable Awareness, Word Blending, Syllable Blending, and Onset and Rime Blending.
Word Awareness
- Helps children recognize that sentences consist of words, requiring identification of word boundaries using short sentences.
Teaching Word Awareness
- Use word cards to build sentences, emphasizing separation and togetherness in reading.
Syllable Awareness
- Encourages children to clap for each syllable in two-syllable words, enhancing their understanding of syllable structures.
