Sorry I am asking questions about the Fountas and Pinnell reading assessment tool. The reading assessments checks for errors and then labels them as Meaning (M), Structure (S) and Visual (V) errors. On the assessments I have seen some of these are circled and some are not. I wanted to know why some of them were circled and some were not. they seem to only count the circled ones and I wanted to know why.
