Objective: Gain information about the student's
spelling abilities and attitude towards reading.
Procedure:
•
Distribute the reading attitude survey
•
Spelling inventory
•
Free read
From Sam's reading attitude survey, I gathered that
Sam enjoys reading, but enjoys other things more. He enjoys starting new books
at school but doesn't like reading during free choice time or in the summer. He
likes reading different genres and doesn't mind reading aloud in the class. He
doesn't feel comfortable getting called on to answer questions or taking
tests.
I had Sam do a spelling test over twenty-five words
for the spelling inventory. He spelled 18/25 words correctly. His feature
points were, 55/62 and total points were, 73/87. As we got further along with
the test, he started missing more. As I looked over the information, I gathered
that he is at the unaccented final syllables spelling stage. With this
information, I plan to construct a word study over these types of words and try
to get Sam to excel in this area.
Today was a lot of testing and finding out more about Sam. Next week I
plan to do a running record and a word study. So far, we have had time to do
some free reading every day, which he seems to really enjoy. I plan on allowing
us time to read everyday.
