Assessment and Intervention

These pictures demonstrate my ability to assess a student's reading comprehension level.

QRI Assessment 1

After implementing the QRI and totaling her score on comprehension, I realized that the student was reading instructionally on a Second grade reading level. This passage was an expository one. Giving this assessment helped me to evaluate her current reading level, and come up with a plan for intervention 1 to implement for the next couple of weeks. I tutored the student weekly in the mornings using different materials to address some of the issues she was having with reading (fluency, blending/segmenting, main idea of passages/stories). After working with the student, I felt as though she had progressed and decided to implement another assessment using some different leveled passages.

After implementing the second Assessment I discovered that the student was reading somewhere between a Level 3 and Level 4. This told me that some of the intervention strategies were helping, but I knew from experience that something else was holding her back from achieving her full potential. I came up with a new plan for intervention 2 that addressed more of the features that were keeping her from this (fluency, vocabulary, comprehension strategies).

After implementing the second plan for intervention, I noticed some small improvements, but it seemed the student's overall success had plateaued. Some of the interventions did work, but I kept getting low levels of comprehension after reading any text that I put in front of her. Her vocabulary improved and thus so did automacy when reading. Her fluency also improved, however, her speech impediment still caused confusion and possibly resulted in an inability to process the meaning of some words/sentences. I gave her this final assessment showing that she was able to read words but her comprehension was inconsistent. My summary of intervention assessments can be viewed in Google Doc's with a detailed description of how the Assessment and Intervention process proceeded and ended.
