Analysis Of Dibels Daze And The Progress Monitoring Checks Of Comprehension

Tracking learner progress of all levels and of individual assessor caseloads can highlight any issues with achievement and target dates.

Dea'Ron continues to work on his current goal that states: When given a grade level reading passage, Dea'Ron will use reading comprehension strategies, such as summarizing and graphic organizers, to answer comprehension questions across the curriculum, with 85% accuracy in 3 out of 4 trials. According to his first-semester progress reports in this area, Dea'Ron made adequate progress by earning the following scores in the area of informational and literary reading comprehension questions: 85%, 73%, 93%, 80%, 66% and 60%. Strengths on reading assessments were in the areas of determining a theme or the central ideas of a text, analyzing characters, and determining the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text. Areas of weaknesses

Response to Intervention was created to intercept the struggling performance of student at the risk of academic and/or behavioral failure. Through early detection of specific skills deficiencies, students are identified and immediate assessments are administered. Diagnosis of these deficient skills allows teachers to structure instruction to meet the specific needs of students. Strategic plans are developed to target skills deficiency and an alternative instructional plan is created.

The execution of the IR intervention plan was presented to two students at a time. The graduate student tutor selected six letters, four known and two unknown, from pop-up menus. The two unknown letters were assessed separately. The students were presented with the first unknown letter first. The tutor demonstrated the letter sound, and then the students reflected the sound. The first unknown letter was then paired with the four known letters and were presented in a pattern. The second unknown letter was demonstrated and presented the same way. However, the fourth known letter from the preceding set was deleted to maintain the known to unknown ratio. Pre-assessment and IR results were recorded for data

Based on the data collected and my overall observations during this unit, I was able to observe some growth by all of our students, though my data for the post assessment may show otherwise. One of the reasons why three of the students, B, D and H showed either very little growth or poorer performance than during their pre-assessment, was due to behavioral issues. All three students missed instructional time or did not complete their activities for at least one of the days. As a consequence, these students spent less time being exposed to

There has been a concerted effort to improve teaching practices and use data to drive intervention strategies. These actions have not produced the results required by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). Based upon Bjork’s desirable difficulty principle Benedict Carey proposes that ‘The fluency illusion is the primary culprit in below-average test performances” (2014, p.82). Evaluating student’s knowledge about a certain topic only immediately after studying, makes the facts easier to recall and creates the smallest increase in learning. The illusion is that because the facts are easy to recall there is a depth of understanding that will remain however as Nate Kornell observed students learn when they struggle to recall information (as cited in Carey, 2014). Carey postulates that assessments “alter what we remember and changes how we subsequently organize that knowledge in our minds. And it does so in ways that greatly improve later performance (Carey, 2014, p.83). This is more than mere speculation and is founded in the research of Arthur Gates and Herbert F. Spitzer. Gates’ research revealed that for memorization including self-examination in the form of practicing recitation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Comprehensive Instructional Sequence when decoding complex text on students’ reading comprehension. Two groups of students were selected: one group used Comprehensive Instructional Sequence to decode and scaffold text; the other group used the previous classroom methods in which there was no continuity. Students were measured using State of Florida progress monitoring tests in which reading comprehension and Lexile were measured. Students in the experimental group were taught using the Comprehensive Instructional Sequence for four weeks. Analysis has yet to be determined. Therefore, the findings are unable to be reported. The abstract will be updated when the study period

Based on Richard’s performance on the reading portion of the assessment Richard needs additional support to ** words he is less familiar reading. When reading words from the Dolch word list at the 1st grade level, Richard had difficulty reading 2 or 3 syllable words. When reading 2 or 3 syllable words Richard would read each letter individually without taking into account the phonogram sounds. For example on the WJ subtest 1 the word “going” Richard read it as “go” without reading taking into consideration /oi/ pronunciation. An area of need Richard needs additional support is distinguishing when to read a vowel with their long or short vowel sound. Richard also needs additional support in his fluency as demonstrated on DIBELS assessment. His

The results of this study suggested that each target behavior increased with exposure to the TAGteach intervention, this includes the TAGteach Token method used by Ashley. For each student, the mean percentage of skills performed correctly was calculated for baseline and intervention phases. The results are as follows:

stage of their next school level. Several measures were taken to look for obvious indictors

i chose this particular target learner group because they stimulated my curiosity with their overall engagement in class activities, yet they consistently tested for low literacy skills in comprehension, vocabulary, punctuation and grammar and spelling.

Throughout the following school year, your child will be constructively challenged and mentally stretched to meet their fullest cognitive potential. One of the way that I assess their progress and growth during the course of the year through the use of a scoring rubric. This serves as a guide for both the students and myself to be able to clearly recognize expectations before and assignment is completed, as well as what corrections, if any, need to be made after the scoring is finalized. Each rubric will be customized according to the corresponding assignment, and will be made available to students and parents prior to the completion of the assignment.

The first academic intervention strategy suggested is known as the Peer-Guided Pause. For this strategy, it is suggested that during a whole-group lecture, a teacher should incorporate several Peer Guided Pauses during the lecture. Through this Pause, students know to work in pairs to review concepts previously discussed. Students monitor their understanding, review model problems, and work cooperatively. For Kyle, this strategy would improve his educational outcomes by redirecting Kyle’s attention at several intervals during the lesson to ensure he is staying focused, taking notes, and understating the material. This will also aid in Kyle’s communication skill building. The second academic intervention strategy suggested is known as Reading Fluency: Assisted Cloze. During this strategy, the teacher reads a passage aloud while the student followshel along silently and keeping pace with the test with a finger. Occasionally, the teacher will pause and the student is required to read aloud the next word in the passage. The process is repeated until the entire passage

Ms. Jones assumed her students understood the content when in reality students did not understand the crucial ideas. Ms. Jones would have realized her students were not learning the intended learning if she would have paused to conduct formative assessments throughout the unit instruction. Once, Ms. Jones decided to include target-learning goals, allowing her to monitor students’ learning progress and implement remediation immediately. The most effective classrooms provide students will multiple learning opportunities. The teacher needs to assess their students often through formative assessments to ensure their students are learning the crucial information provided throughout the instructional strategies. Formative assessments allow teachers to adjust their instructional strategies based on students’ results from the formative assessments before students engage in the unit’s summative

Vaughn’s Learning Delay concept is based on the idea that students don’t have specific learning disabilities instead student fall within a range from begin learning delayed to normal all the way up to advanced. Vaughn’s concept supports the idea that students who are struggling readings fall at the tail end of this spectrum based on their age and grade equivalence; Vaughn believes that their is no difference between students with learning disabilities and struggling readers. This concept can be thought of as a bell curve; students who are reading at their expected age and grade level are the norm while students who fall above or below describes their reading performance in comparison to what is expected at that time. Vaughn believes that all
