Spelling and Reading Assessment

This activity was done in my RE 3030 class. It involves the Early Reading Assessment.

NC- North Carolina DPI Elementary Education Specialty Area Standards

Standard: Standard 1: Elementary teachers have a broad knowledge and understanding of the major concepts in English Language Arts and Literacy.

Indicator: Indicator 1: Teachers know the developmental stages of language acquisition.

Indicator: Indicator 5: Teachers know and understand that reading is taught as a process of constructing meaning through the interaction of the reader’s existing knowledge, the information suggested by the written language, and the context of the reading situation.

Indicator: Indicator 6: Teachers understand the importance of literacy for personal and social growth.

Indicator: Indicator 8: Teachers know and understand written and oral composition processes. They understand:

Detail: The written language as a symbolic system.

Detail: The phonemic, morphemic, semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic systems of language and their relation to the reading and writing process.

Indicator: Indicator 7: Teachers develop and use a variety of formal and alternative assessment strategies as an integral part of instruction and learning appropriate for assessing individual, peer, team, and collaborative skills.

Rationale for Spelling and Reading Assessment:

Context-

I did the Early Reading Assessment as part of my field experience assignment while in Block I at Hillcrest Elementary. I chose one student from the class to conduct my assignment on.

Impact-

While learning about ways to teach reading and developing the levels students are on with their word recognition, I used this assessment as a tool to determine the level at which students were at. After learning to do so, and practicing this in the classroom, I can later use it to help me determine the levels that the students are at in my classes.

Alignment-

I have met Standard 1, indicators 1, 5, 6, and 8 because I have shown in this process that I have a broad knowledge and understanding of major Literacy concepts. In doing this, I realize that language is developmental, and on-going. I have also met Standard 7, indicators 6 and 7 because I use appropriate strategies to deliver instruction in literacy by assessing individuals and whole class.
