I know that's the title of the course, but it's true so I wanted to start there! ]]> 2017-02-21 18:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155257090 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155258477 Besides simply learning about the CRI, I learned how to administer it to a student. It's so useful to actually practice doing something vs. only learning about it in theory. When I was sitting across the table from a human being I was forced to consider much more than test questions alone. ]]> 2017-02-21 18:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155258477 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155259086 Our group project was on DIBELS testing, and we discovered that while the exam is a good measure of phonemic awareness, it doesn't account for comprehension well. ]]> 2017-02-21 18:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155259086 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155259403 Another assessment I learned about was the Fountas and Pinnell. Out of all the exams that were studied, I felt that the F&P was the best since it accounted for phonemic awareness AND comprehension while being challenging for older readers. ]]> 2017-02-21 18:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155259403 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155260165 Being new to this world, a lot of the concepts were brand new to me. I didn't realize that programs were gauged as top-down, bottom-up, or balanced. ]]> 2017-02-21 18:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155260165 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155260919 This is a website devoted to providing materials, ideas, and resources to anyone studying reading difficulties.

The profile is a survey that attempts to see how a student feels about their reading and writing abilities. The MRP is an excellent tool while you're trying to design a specific response to a reading issue. ]]> 2017-02-21 18:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155261787 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155262775 This exam is meant to measure reading success on a wide basis.

Most of the major tests that we looked at used vocab as a measuring stick for reading levels. ]]> 2017-02-21 19:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155265699 bwhitermore1 https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155267111 Much like the MRP, the ERAS is designed for a younger group, but it's aim is still to quickly diagnose who in the room may need more support with reading. ]]> 2017-02-21 19:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bwhitermore1/vo4no0h42rrc/wish/155267111
