A sixth-grade teacher has made the following notes about the reading performance of
Rebecca, one of her students. Rebecca’s oral reading speed and accuracy are about
average for the class. Her errors, which tend to occur when she encounters

comprehension questions that are based on silent and oral reading selections is also
average for the class; however, her miscues, if numerous, sometimes seem to
interfere with her comprehension. Based on the teacher’s notes about Rebecca’s
reading performance, Rebecca would benefit most from instruction to help her *
