What is Acadience Reading?
How long does the student have to complete each measure?
one minute
True or False: Letter Naming Fluency measures a basic early literacy skill.
False
This measure uses nonsense words and not real words. Why do you think that is?
To successfully complete Nonsense Word Fluency, the student must apply knowledge of letter-sound correspondent to blend sounds and decode unfamiliar words.
Phoneme Segmentation Fluency measures phonemic awareness. What is phonemic awareness?
The understanding that spoken words are made up of sequences of individual speech sounds or phonemes.
How many passages do students read when administering the Oral Reading Fluency measure?
What symbol do you write on the forms for Letter Naming Fluency, Phoneme Segmentation Fluency, Nonsense Word Fluency and Oral Reading Fluency to show that the student stopped because the timer went off?
a bracket
What basic early literacy skill does First Sound Fluency measure?
Phonemic awareness
What are two scores the student receives in this measure?
Correct Letter Sounds and Whole Words Read
True or False: The student has a sheet in front of them during this measure.
Explain your answer.
False:Since this measures phonemic awareness, the student does not have any print in front of them. This is an auditory assessment.
Which early basic literacy skills does Oral Reading Fluency measure?
Accuracy and Fluency of connected text, Phonics, Comprehension
Words Correct-> Fluency
Accuracy-->Higher Order Phonics
Retell--> Comprehension
What is a benchmark goal?
A benchmark goal is the lowest level of performance on a measure that predicts reaching the next goal, "lowest okay"
The word is pine and the student says the first sound is "pie".
Does the student get any points?
If so, how many points does the student get?
Why?
The student gets 1 correct point because the student said the consonant plus vowel.
True or False: In the second row, the student begins to only tell you the sounds in words but does not recode so I can tell the student to recode.
False. If the student says all letter sounds correctly in first row, but does not make any attempt to recode, I can say "Try to read the words as whole words".
If the student tries to recode one word in the first row and then stops recoding, I cannot give any reminders.
The word is hole. The student says "h" "l". How do you mark the scoring sheet?
Put a line under the "h" sound, leave blank the "oa" sound and put a line under the "l" sound.
True or False: After 3 seconds of waiting, if a student does not read a word, give it to them, do not mark anything on the scoring sheet and count it as an error.
Explain your answer.
False: If a student does not know a word, give it to them, mark a slash on the scoring sheet and count it as an error.
What is a Reading Composite Score?
The composite score represents a more rich and broad sample of skill than an individual measure.
For each grade and time of year, the measures that correlate highly with later outcomes are combined into a Reading Composite Score.
The student gets 0 points so the assessor puts a slash on the 0. The assessor can give the following reminder rule only one time: Remember to tell me the first sound in the word, not the letter name. The assessor immediately says the next word.
The word is wul. The student says: w i l...wul.
How would you mark wul on the scoring sheet?
How many points would the student receive? Explain.
There would be a line under w, a slash on the i, a line under l. A long line under the word and then sc on top of the i.
The student would receive 3 CLS and 0 WWR. The student self corrected the middle vowel so gets that CLS point. The student gets 0 WWR because the student did not read the word without sounding it out.
The words are:
flag star
Student says:
/f/ /w/ /a/ /g/ /st/ /a/ /r/
How many points does the student receive? Why?
7 points
The student will receive the full 4 points for flag because students are not penalized for articulation or dialect differences.
The student will receive 3 points for star because the student did not isolate the blend.
The passage says: I love to eat pasta with sauce.
The student says: I l--u--v to eat pizza...I mean pasta with sauces.
How would you mark the scoring booklet? Explain.
I - leave blank
love-put a slash (did not recode)
to- leave blank
eat- leave blank
pizza-slash, sc on top
with- leave blank
sauces-slash (added an extra letter)
What are the five basic early literacy skills?
When do you discontinue assessing in Letter Naming Fluency and First Sound Fluency?
The words are the following:
kif uc seb
The student says:
"kif...kif" "uct" "seab...I mean seb"
How would you mark the scoring sheet? How many CLS and WWR points will the student receive for each word?
kif- two lines under the word, the student will receive 3 CLS 0 WWR
uc- a line under the word with a slash on the line for the extra letter, the student will receive 2 CLS 0 WWR
seb- a line under the word, slash the vowel, write sc on the vowel, the student will receive 3 CLS 0 WWR
Total points: 8CLS 0WWR
The words are:
fox toes trip sheep
The student says:
/f/ /oks/ /t/ /oes/ /tr/ /ip/ /sh/ /eep/
How many total points could the student receive? How many points will the student receive? What are some patterns that you are noticing about the student's phonemic awareness?
Correct response: 14 points
/f/ /o/ /k/ /s/ /t/ /oa/ /z/ /t/ /r/ /i/ /p /
/sh/ /ea//p/
Student response: 8 points
fox- 2 points
toes- 2 points
trip- 2 points
sheep- 2 points
Pattern: the student is segmenting based on onset rime and is not isolating all sounds
Passage: It is healthy to exercise. Exercise should be a part of your life. You can play sports, run on the street or dance to a video.
Student retell response: This book is about how you should make exercise a part of your life. healthy. Play sports. I love to dance!
What is the retell total? Explain.
17 words
We do not count "I love to dance!"
