Week 3 #3
What is QRI5?
QRI5 is an inventory,
which individually administered informal reading, providing information about
the conditions in which students can comprehend text through properly
identifying words. In addition to conditions, which appear, result in not
identifying the word or comprehension properly. Ultimately, identifying the
students reading level through instructional, independent, and frustration.
What is the purpose
of using QRI5?
QRI5 is used to
provide various assessment options, with results aiding in find the students
reading level, selecting books for group or individual work sessions. The QRI5
can also aid in helping to design and execute intervention instructions.
Have you
seen similar assessment activities like QRI5? What are they?
The only similar assessment
activity that I can think of seeing was when I observed a 1st grade
class. Unfortunately I cannot think of the name of the program, I tried to look
through my notes but could not locate it. The students would access the
Internet, and read short stories online. At the end the students would answer
questions, the data would then be sent to the teacher and she could see which
words the students had trouble with. Other than that I do not recall anything
else.
As for the survey’s;
I have seen it in various forms, for various subjects or overall days from K-8th.
The ones I have come into contact the most are for my students, you simply
write how their behavior was in class. Something as simple as good, on task,
focused, unfocused, disruptive, etc. This semester I started handing out a
“Welcome Survey to each student on the first day of class to help me get to
know them better.
What is your
impression of QRI5?
My impression of QRI5
is that it will be very helpful in assessing students, identifying where each
student struggles the most, and how to assist them better. As I was going
through the material, I was honestly thinking that I would like this in an
actual classroom, being used in my district or one that has a similar
demographic.
While reading what you wrote about how you would like this in an actual classroom being used in your district, I wonder if this is used in any of the schools where I do my field experience. I guess I'll find out shortly.
ReplyDeleteThe program you are referring to reminded me of another one I have seen before. It's actually an online readin program called Reading A to Z. It's a unique system because each student can read online books at their own pace an on their level. Then they can take assessments to record their progress and the teacher can view all their activities on the site. Students have a variety of books and articles to choose from. It has many other areas that students can work on as far as reading goes which is very helpful.
