SERP 407A

Qualitative Reading Inventory Assignment

No-name is third grader at my practicum site. He has a developmental delay and is

receiving an IEP for mathematics however, he will be tested within the next few months for

reading and writing. When comparing him to his peers, he is very social and has typical boy

behaviors. He does very well in class if you are able to relate the material back to something he

is interested in (video games).

While administer the QRI No-name was in the process of fighting a cold so he had to get

up often and get tissues in the middle of his reading which made him forget what he was reading

or saying.

On the word list he preformed very well. We started at pre-primary because the special

education teacher suggested to start there. He was able to get to the second level without getting

frustrated. On the pre-primary and primary word list he breezed through it automatically. No-

name didnt stop to sound out any words. However, once we got to level one and two he began

to say the words slower and started to mumble. He was still able to preform quite well landing

him in the instructional area. No-name at this point is noticing the words are getting harder.

Level three was when he hit frustration. He said pass on a lot of words that he should/could

have sounded out. Overall, I think No-name needs to learn how to wait and sound things out.

Reading passages were a struggle for No-name. He did well on the pre-primary, making

very little miscues. On the primary level he began to make careless mistakes and began to

mumble his words again. He scored in the instructional range for primary. Once again, No-

name noticed that passages were getting harder and I told him its because hes so smart. As he

was reading level one he skipped words/sentences, switch words, and substituted words. For this

passage he reached frustration.

With all of his readings I think he needs to work on contact clues, decoding, and meaning

of words (mice vs. mouse). His fluency wasnt very poor even with the primary story. I believe

its because hes never read the story before so he was very hesitant to read them with confidence.
