Curriculum Based Evaluation in Reading Gary L. Cates, Ph.D.
Decoding • AKA Reading • Carnine: • Teachers need right materials • Teachers need right training • Adams • Code instruction with meaning better for ALL readers • Rate of Decoding is essential in understanding differences in effects of various reading methods.
Important Points • Perceptual Processes: They matter very little. • Early Reading Skills: Teach older kids that do not have early literacy skills these skills? • Reading Levels: within text, across curricula • What about Grade Equivalents? • The right question: What skill does the student need to learn?
Error/Miscue Analysis • Variable empirical support • Problem with Operational Definitions • Should be an appropriate error sample (i.e. must make enough errors – 80-85%)
Pre-reading readiness • Book Orientation • Sentence, word, letter boundaries, • Letter names • Symbol recognition? • Word recognition • Word/sentence manipulation: Rain/Bow • Segementing, rhyming, blending,
Hypothesis: Won’t do • Provide reinforcer for reading accurately (50% increase?)
Hypothesis: Error not important to meaning • Tally errors and get percent of words that violate meaning (i.e. would give you a different sentence understanding). • Shouldn’t be out of specified range.
Hypothesis: Code Structure is the issue • Read a passage and note errors. • Errors related to pattern in words? • Be sure to base this on opportunity for error not just percentage of errors.
Hypothesis: Word Substitutions are? • Related to phonics? • Misses phonetically regular portions of words • Can’t read non-sense words • Not related to phonics? • Provide assisted self-monitoring • Maybe not a problem (Check if affects to meaning)
What do you do about these issues? • Stay tuned for reading intervention coverage
Let’s Change our Thinking • Comprehension is a complex process • Let’s talk about how a reader “reacts” to their reading. • Answering questions, retelling, paraphrasing, cloze, maze, t/f etc.
9 Causes of Comprehension Failure • These are 9 things that a good reader does that a poor reader doesn’t. • If you want a cool round number (the top “10” reasons) the 10th is Insufficient reinforcement.
Strategies of Comprehension • Monitor for meaning and self-correct • Selective attention to text: Skimming, going over closely • Adjust for Text Difficulty: Change rate, rereading, highlighting • Connect with Prior Knowledge: • Clarify: Figure it out in some way to make it make sense (Ask for help?; Google)
Enablers of Comprehension • Decoding: 140 wcpm (after 3rd grade) • Vocabulary (Semantics) – 70% of the variability! • Definitions • Determining Word Meaning • Grammar (Syntax): Rare, but could be ESL • Prior Knowledge
