Scenario: To further develop your skills as a literacy coach, you have been asked to review and analyze a series of case studies of students demonstrating a variety of reading problems. You will make recommendations for assessments to diagnose the reading problems based on your analysis. These case studies will be shared in a future professional development workshop.
View the “
Five Domains of Reading
” learning module.
Read and
analyze the 5 case studies presented.
Research reading assessments as recommended by the National Reading Panel, Reading First, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Reading Excellence Act of 1997, or other more current legislation as applicable. The following list of formal and informal assessments may be a good place to start your research:
· Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS®)
· Early Reading Diagnostic Assessment™ (ERDA®)
· Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests®
· Developmental Reading Assessment®
· Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing™ (CTOPP™)
· Phonological Awareness Test™ (PAT™)
· Informal reading inventories
· ORF (oral reading fluency) measures
Write a 175- to 200-word analysis for each case study in which you address the following:
· Identify and explain the reading challenge or problem suspected in the case study. Consider which reading domain(s) each student struggles with the most.
· Recommend 3 specific formal and/or informal diagnostic tools, screening tools, or inventories that you might use to measure students’ reading abilities and determine the reading problem.
· Provide a rationale for your selected diagnostic tools, screening tools, or inventories ranked in the order that you would implement them.
Note: You should have a total of 5 analyses, 1 for each case study.
