Day 2

REFLECTION ON STUDENT

. I gave my student a motivation survey to complete and the results of the motivation were very low, Sunny scored in the 20% with motivation. This tells me she is very unmotivated by reading and does not enjoy it at all. I will need to do my best to find interesting materials and activities to help engage her to help her grow with her reading and fluency. 

She read a passage for me to complete a running record after the survey. 

Looking at the running record results, I noticed that the passage was easy for her.
Accuracy rate was 96%; Error rate was 1:26.7, SC rate was 1:4.
Though her Lexile score is 763 which is a Q-R, this passage was an S so I will go up to the next level to see where she scores. Sunny stumbled on the same word in a couple places, "participants". She tried to break apart the word and got part of it but wasn't able to get the full word. When she skipped a word she caught it quick and went back to reread because she noticed it didn't sound right. With other errors she made in this passage, she got the beginning sound correct but not the rest of the word. This shows me that she could be reading too fast and needs to slow down to finish the word and look at the ending. Her retell was very detailed and got the important details of what the story was about. She told me about a flash mob and what they are, "they randomly tart performing in a public place for a short time then go back to what they were doing and they will use the internet to spread the word about when and where they will do it".

After the running record, I had Sunny complete a word sort working on words with ou, ow, oi, oy. We first talked about each one and how they sound. We also found the pairs of similar sounds before completing the sort. 

REFLECTION ON SELF AS TEACHER

I have a lot to learn. I was a struggling reader as a student and still am so tutoring helps me relate to these students and how they are feeling. I provided my student with a text that I thought she found interesting to help motivate and engage her to be able to perform well. With the word sort, I used data from the spelling inventory to help me see what she needed to work and focus on with was other vowels. Looking back during my session, I would have had her complete the passage then do a retell before answering questions. This helps me see her comprehension before completing any questions. I also need to start my questions and prompts more with "Good readers....." 

OBJECTIVE(S):

Good Readers recognize patterns in words to help them with spelling.

Good Readers can retell in their own words what they just read.

ASSESSMENT OF OBJECTIVE(s):

I will assess how she sorts the words into different categories. Working on oy, ou, oi, ow.

OTHER ASSESSMENTS:

Running Record

Motivation Survey

Retell Rubric

PROCEDURES:

Hi! How is your day going today? We are going to do a couple of different things today. First we will start with a motivation survey, then I will listen to you read a short passage so I can collect data then we will do a word sort.

Purpose:

Today I would like to see how well you can retell me a short story and how you will sort the given words in the specific categories.

1.      I will have the student read to me as I complete a running record with a retelling rubric

2.      I will assess how the student completes the word sort using other vowels.

3.      Reflect on the objective.

Steps for objectives:

-          Using the retell rubric, this allows me to collect data on the student’s comprehension of the passage

-          I will listen to her read aloud and assess how well she reads with accuracy.

-          Using the word sort I will be able to collect data oh how well the student can sort the words in the categories.

Closure:

Discuss the word sort and ask further questions regarding sounds.

Which two sounds are alike?

Evaluate and calculate running record

Determine what work we need to do next time
