"As a means to getting to know Jose and his personality, reading habits and level, I first casually examined him multiple times in a guided reading circle. The first few times he read orally and answered comprehension questions. After getting to know each other a little better a casual miscue analysis was administered to get a better idea of the technicality of his reading ability. It seemed Jose was at independent level with his third grade R level reading book. There are some questions to be raised about this, because this was not completely the truth. Jose has demonstrated strength with phonics. He has also demonstrated tremendous potency with oral reading, conversation and prosody. What he did scuffle with occasionally was comprehension. As soon as possible this student was to be administered the QRI-5, which would give the research a better holistic sense of how the student can identify the words and comprehend the text. The miscue analysis would be addressed, however the QRI-5 also considers concepts, retelling, key words and explicit and implicit thoughts.
The only downfall to administering the QRI-5 is that it does take some time. It is necessary that some time be set-aside for a student such as Jose. A quiet area in the classroom was set aside where the student and the teacher could work alone on the test and reading material, so that the student would not be disturbed."
