QRI5 Week 7

I chose a kindergarten boy to do a QRI5 assessment.  This is the same student who I previously assessed for print awareness, phoneme awareness, and phonics.  I started the fluency assessment with the Pre-Primer I word list.  The student was only able to identify 8 out of the 17 words (47%), which is at a frustration level.  It does concern me that he did not try to use his phonics knowledge to decode the words.  If he could not say the word immediately, he would quickly say, “I don’t know it.”  Even with prompting to sound out the words, he would not try.

The student read the story “I Can” (Pre-Primer I). 

Number of Total Miscues:  5  - frustration

Number of Meaning-Change Miscues: 0

Rate:  2220/120 = 18.5 WPM

Correct WPM:  (37-5)x60 = 1920/120 = 16 CWPM

 

Recalled:  4 out of 12 ideas = 33%

Comprehension Questions:  3 out of 5 (frustration) – student did not identify the girl at the beginning of the story.  He group all kids together, answering hop, sleep, eat and dream.  On question number 2, the student did not know what another girl did in the story.

 

From this short assessment, this student is struggling with vocabulary, applying phonics and phonemes to decode, and comprehension.  Student will need immediate intervention at the Tier II level of RTI.  I also observed the student seemed to have trouble focusing during assessment.  He would also whine and state he hated reading.
