Cueing
Systems
How
did
you
assess
for
cueing
systems
used?
To
assess
for
cueing
systems
used
I
first
looked
at
each
miscue
and
determined
whether
the
students
spoken
word
had
high,
some,
or
no
graphic
similarity
to
the
word
printed.
I
marked
high
similarity,
H,
some
similarity,
S,
and
no
similarity,
N.
After
examining
each
miscue
for
graphic
similarity,
I
looked
at
each
sentence
individually
to
determine
syntactic
and
semantic
cues.
For
each
sentence
I
asked,
Does
this
sound
syntactically
correct?
Is
the
sentence
semantically
correct?
and
Did
the
students
reading
change
its
meaning?
and
marked
Y
for
yes
and
N
for
no.
I
marked
these
in
the
margins
next
to
each
sentence.
To
determine
how
students
were
using
the
graphophonic
cueing
system,
I
compared
the
word
spoken
by
the
student
and
the
word
from
the
text
in
terms
of
how
they
looked.
If
the
miscue
looked
visually
similar
to
the
actual
word,
I
marked
it
visually
similar.
Describe
each
readers
use
of
each
cueing
system
(syntactic,
semantic/meaning,
graphophonic/visual)
and
how
their
use
impacted
meaning.
Notice

the
childs
reading.
Does
s/he
make
self-corrections?
What
insights
do
you
have
about
why
self
-
corrections
are
made?
Does
the
child
seem
to
think
about
the
ideas
in
the
text
while
reading?
Is
the
child
simply
word-calling?
Does
the
child
make
connections
to
previous
instruction,
texts
or
life
experiences?

data.
Grace
used
syntactic
cues
(45%
of
miscues)
more
than
semantics
(18%
of
miscues)
and
put
a
lot
of
use
in
the
graphophonic
cueing
system
(54
of
miscues).
Many
of
the
words
she
misread
were
visually
similar
to
what
was
actually
written.
Grace
was
able
to
make
self-corrections
when
something
did
not
sound
right;
she
self-corrected
in
when
an
did
not
make
sense
after
reading
it
the
first
time
through.
Nathan
used
syntactic
cues
the
most
(60%
of
miscues)
while
his
semantic
use
and
graphophonic
cueing
system
were
not
too
far
behind
(50%
of
miscues).
Many
miscues
were
visually
similar
to
what
was
written
and
some
miscues
may
have
had
to
do
with
personal
experience.
Nathan
substituted
country
for
city,
possibly
because
of
experience
at
a
zoo
in
the
country,
and
was
unsure
of
the
word
recess,
I
do
not
believe
this
is
what
New
Zealand
schools
call
this
time
of
the
day.
Stefan
used
syntactic
and
semantic
cues
mostly
(65%
of
miscues).
His
graphophonic
use
was
what
he
used
least
(34%
of
miscues).
Most
of
his
miscues
did
not
change
the
meaning
of
the
text
greatly;
at
one
point
he
read
I
fed
the
duckies
when
We
fed
the
ducks
was
written.

Retelling
and
Ability
to
Answer
Questions
(Comprehension/Understanding)
Retelling
How
did
you
assess
each
students
ability
to
retell
the
story?
I
assessed
each
students
ability
to
retell
the
story
by
asking,
What
was
the
story
that
you
just
read
about?
I
allowed
the
students
to
read
through
the
passage
and
then
took
the
story
away
from
them
so
they
had
to
recall
from
memory.
If
the
student
was
having
difficulty
recalling
information
I
prompted
with,
Can
you
tell
me
some
of
the
things
the
characters
did?
Describe

How
completely
did
the
readers
retell
without
prompts?
With
prompts?
Most
important
ideas?
Supporting
details?
Grace
was
able
to
retell
much
of
the
story
after
my
initial
question
of,
What
was
the
story
about?
She
recalled
the
setting
and
most
of
the
important
events,
such
as
going
on
the
slide
and
feeding
the
ducks
at
the
playground.
She
did
not
recall
details
of
the
story
or
what
was
said.
Nathan
could
thoroughly
retell
the
story
when
asked
the
initial
question
of,
What
was
the
story
about?
He
recalled
the
setting,
who
went,
beginning
details,
and
the
final
event
in
the
story,
eating
ice
blocks
or
ice
cream.
However,
he
was
unable
to
recall
much
about
the
middle
of
the
story,
such
as
what
animals
they
saw
and
what
was
said.
Stefan
could
recall
very
few
details
from
the
story
after
reading.
He
was
able
to
retell
one
event
that
happened
in
the
story
and
one
thing
that
was
said.
Even
with
prompts
he
responded
with,
I
dont
remember.
Comprehension
Questions
How
did
you
assess
each
students
ability
to
answer
comprehension
questions?
Make
sure
that
the
instrument
you
use
includes
both
literal
and
inferential
questions
about
ideas
in
the
passage.
There
should
also
be
questions
that
tap
into
background
knowledge
and
connections
which
deepen
the
readers
understanding.
Specific
questions
about
the
text
(i.e.
why
did
the
author
include
particular
points?
In
what
ways
are
headings
and
diagrams
useful,
etc.)
should
also
be
included.

Students
responded
that
the

looked
silly
on

because,
he
was

in
the
2nd

Proposed
Teaching
Response
and
Reflection
Text
Selection
Explain
what
specific
characteristics
you
will
look
for
when
you
choose
a
text
for
this
group
of
students
to
read
during
guided
reading
instruction.
How
will
these
particular
features
of
the
text
support
this
group
of
readers?
I
will
look
for
texts
with
chapters
to
continue
instruction
that
the
teacher
was
getting
into
with
parts
of
a
book.
Hopefully,
students
will
gain
a
better
understanding
of
what
contents
are
and
how
to
find
chapters
using
the
table
of
contents.
I
also
hope
to
find
texts
with
larger
words
that
students
will
be
able
to
chunk
and
practice
sounding
out.
This
will
give
students
more
practice
with
this
reading
strategy
and
have
them
work
towards
grouping
more
letters
to
decode
more
easily
and
read
smoothly.
Guided
Reading
Instruction
How
will
you
present
the
text
you
have
chosen
for
this
group
so
that
they
will
be
most
successful?
What
will
you
do
before
they
read?
During
reading?
After
reading?
Before
reading
I
will
ask
students
to
preview
the
book
and
tell
me
what
they
notice.
Their
observations
should
include
the
title,
illustrations,
text
features
(chapters
and
contents),
and
words
(words
they
may
have
difficulty
with).
I
will
ask,
What
do
you
know
about
(topic/title)?
and
ask
them
to
read
the
title
while
pointing
to
each
word
in
the
title.
During
reading
I
will
ask
student
to
read
aloud
and
at
their
own
pace,
listening
for
miscues
and
areas
of
confusion.
I
will
listen
for
what
students
do
when
they
come
to
word
they
do
not
know
and
where
their
eyes/fingers
go
to.
After
reading
I
will
have
a
retelling
map
with
all
of
the
important
details
and
record
how
well
students
could
retell
under
different
circumstances
(with/without
prompts,
what
details
were
included,
conclusions,
etc.)
Teaching
Points
Highlight
two
teaching
points
for
this
group.
You
will
want
to
choose
one
thing
that
the
group
as
a
whole
is
doing
well
and
you
want
to
make
sure
continues.
For
the
other
point
you
should
think
of
an
approximation
(close,
almost
there
skill)
to
teach
these
readers
to
do
something
new.
Be
sure
to
justify
why
you
are
choosing
these
points
with
data.
