My definition of reading is making meaning from text. She did! I like the QRI because it does not over-emphasize fluency. According to the scoring for the QRI, she would be at instructional level for 5th grade. I feel that pull out services are for the kids who are not comprehending. The lion's share of reading as an adult is done silently, not aloud. She should be fine. Mary Alford

I gave her another one and asked if she read better in her head-she said yes and then proceeded to read silently at 114 wpm with full comprehension. One of the recent posts suggested kids read more slowly in their heads but this one really zoomed! I'm considering her placement for AIS (intervention services) for next year but after this performance, I don't think she needs daily pull out. Would any of you be confident of her level of reading with these two passages?-she also perform well in small groups with me, but the classroom teacher feels she needs "testing" because her verbal expression is poor. thanks- Michelle NY 4/5 AIS ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
