Indicators 2, 3

Context: I administered a reading and writing assessment to a sixth grade student at Blue Ridge Elementary School in West Jefferson, <st1:State>NC.</st1:State>  I was taught how to administer the test through my Curriculum and Instruction 4000 class in my fall 2005 semester.  I tested a student in Ms. Saffer's Language Arts class through my internship at the elementary school.  The assessment consisted of three parts:
    1. Word recognition in isolation (using the flash method)
    2. Word recognition in context 
    3. Writing assessment

Impact: When I teach, I will constantly be assessing my students, both formally and informally.  Administering a formal test to ascertain the reading level of a struggling student was an ideal way for me to gain confidence in my ability to give such a test. 

Alignment: I have met the following NCDPI standards:

Standard 8 -

  • Indicator 2 because the results of this test could be used as a tool to allow students to monitor their own reading comprehension, providing a sense of accomplishment with increasing scores and a newfound confidence.
  • Indicator 3 because  the comprehension questions asked at the end of each reading section encouraged the student to think critically about what he had read.
