I guess I'm confused here. In order to use oral reading to get some clues about where the child is having trouble reading in general, one is operating under the assumption that what a reader does when reading orally reflects how he/she reads when reading silently. Goodman's Miscue Analysis certainly operates under this assumption. The miscues that a reader makes when reading orally reflect the processes that a reader uses when reading silently. Oral reading is a reflection of silent reading.

Uh..... no....... I would be using oral reading to get some clues about where the child is having trouble reading, in general. But this is different from the original discussion, too, which as I recall said that a child who reads poorly orally probably reads poorly silently and that we can assess a student's silent reading ability and proficiency by listening to him or her read orally. I don't agree with that, for reasons which have come up in this discussion. Plus, I have to take issue with the term "silent reading performance" because I don't consider silent reading to be a "performance" .... but that's just me.
