Games and activities
Cody is in first grade. He almost never raises his hand to participate in
class discussions. When called on, he replies very briefly. He tends to use
vague words like stuff and rarely uses full sentences. During decoding
exercises, he reads words accurately and easily recognizes common
patterns; he is a good speller. When he reads stories aloud, he reads fairly
accurately but in an expressionless monotone. Which assessment would
be most likely to yield valuable information about Cody? - -b. reading a
story to him and having him orally retell it
- If a student needs work on phonics and decoding, what kind of informal
diagnostic assessment would provide the most useful information on how
to help this student with these skills? - -b. a word-reading survey to show
which sound-symbol correspondences the student knows and which ones
still need practice
- Many screening measures can be considered diagnostic since they
provide extremely detailed data about a students skills in particular
literacy domains. - -False
- Which of the following is not an area of inquiry to include in a
comprehensive diagnostic assessment of a potential reading disorder? - -
d. social interactions
- Which of these literacy skills have students typically mastered by the
end of third grade? Select all that apply. - -a. advanced phonemic
