95% accuracy, and had a self-correction rate of 1:3.75. The text had 201 total, after
10 miscues Kendall had correctly read 87.5 words in one minute. The total text
took 2 minutes and 11 seconds. Having independent scores in both accuracy and
comprehension, Kendall scored independent overall for the level 23 text.
Qualitative Summary:
Of the 10 errors made while reading, 9 were substitutions, and 1 was an added
word. Kendall substituted baler for paler twice in the reading. His substitutions
changed the meaning of the sentence read. He added the word the into a sentence
and it did not change the meaning of the sentence. Kendall received an average
score of 3 on the scale for assessing fluency - his lowest score being a 2, and
highest being a 4. The retelling was frustration level for Kendall. He retold 4
important details. The comprehension scored a 4 out of 5 - an independent score.

Reader Summary:
Kendalls motivation was similar to the first time he read this text. He was excited
to see comparisons from his first day of reading to now the last day of reading. He
had a substantial amount of background knowledge due to already having read this
text and his interest in animals and their habitats. Kendall has a hard time
recognizing his substitutions while reading. He does not pay close attention to
vocabulary words and the meaning of words.
What has the reader accomplished since the first assessment?
Kendall increased his retell and comprehension. His fluency remained the same,
but still seemed slightly improved. He was able to tie in new strategies to his final
assessment that he did not use in the first reading. Kendall noticed the title of the
book and was interested in having out usual before reading chat to talk about the
content we would be reading about. Overall, his confidence in his reading and his
comprehension increased the most. I am very pleased with his hard work and
improvement.
