Week 5 Assignments

Word List Level #1:

From the video, Mary got 18 words correct. 16 of the words were automatically identified and 2 were identified. Wrong words are: brain, afraid

Total Correct Automatic = 16/20 = 80%

Total Correct Identified = 2/20 = 10%

Total Number Correct = 15/20 = 90%

The score 90% is at the Independent Level.

Word List Level #2:

From the video, Mary got 15 words correct. 14 of the words were automatically identified and 1 was identified. Wrong words are: though, begins, breathe, insects, noticed.

Total Correct Automatic = 14/20 = 70%

Total Correct Identified = 1/20 = 5%

Total Number Correct = 15/20 = 75%

The score 75% is at the Instructional Level.

Word List Level #3:

From the video, Mary got 5 words correct. 3 of the words were automatically identified and 2 were identified.

Total Correct Automatic = 3/20 = 15%

Total Correct Identified = 2/20 = 10%

Total Number Correct = 15/20 = 25%

The score 25% is at the Frustration Level.

The previous results indicate the level of passage should be given to Mary.

Passage Level #2:

Before reading the passage, according to the three concept questions we can see that her understanding of the article was 3/9= 33%.

From the second video, Mary read a passage of 197 words in total. There were 12 errors and 3 self-correction words.

Accuracy rate = (197-12)/197 = 94%

Error rate 12/197 = 1:16

Self-correction rate = (12+3)/3 = 1:5

It indicates that Mary was independent in reading the passage. Her accuracy rate is high and her retelling is almost correct.

Rate = 11820/258 = 46WPM

Correct WPM = (197-12)*60/258 = 43CWPM

In the part of retelling the story, Mary thought of 23 points from the total 49. And from the final 8 questions, Mary retold most of the answers. The little girl had a very good beginning. She had a very fluency reading skill with words that she has already known well. She has a good comprehension ability of understanding the main idea of an article. And she was also able to go into most of the details. Last but not least, she has equipped with the basic logical thinking ability due to her retelling order. However, her confidence of reading weakened after meeting unfamiliar words. She relied on her teacher too much and her self-correction rate is low. So she probably needs more training on independent reading.
