Week 5: QRI-5 Practice

Assignment #1

            Mary scored at the independent level on this word list. She answered 18 out of 20 correctly with 2 of those 18 being identified.

Assignment #2

            Mary read 80% of the words right on this list, placing her at an instructional level. Of the 16 words she identified correctly, 3 of them were identified.

Assignment #3

            Mary quickly became frustrated with this list of word. She only read a few before beginning to struggle and eventually stopping. It is clear that this word list is not appropriate for her level. The second grade word list should be used. 

Assignment #4

            Mary’s prior knowledge of the story was very minimal. She scored a 1 out of 9, only knowing that a baby animal may get killed if it is on its own. Because Mary was unfamiliar with the topic, it is very likely that she will struggle with the comprehension questions after reading the passage.

            Mary read the passage at an instructional level. She only made 7 errors and read with 96% accuracy. Her words per minute were 45 and her correct words per minute were 44. Although she read at a slow pace, Mary did not have much difficulty getting through the text and only paused for a few moments.

            Out of 49 main ideas, Mary recalled 17 of them. On the comprehension questions she scored a 5 out of 8. She lands between the frustration and instructional level as some of her questions cold have been scored correctly or incorrectly depending on the assessor. It is clear that Mary grasped the main ideas of the passage on her first read. However, she struggled with the details of the passage and often repeated the same responses multiple times rather than elaborating with additional details from the passage.
