Whales & Fish Assignment 2

Based on the results of my assessment, the student reading Whales and Fish read at a 95% accuracy rate. Their accuracy rate was found by dividing the total words read minus total errors (201-9) by the total words (201) multiplied by 100. Their error rate was 1:22 figured out by dividing the total number of words (201) by the total errors (9). The student’s self correction rate was 1:3, which was found by taking the sum of the number of errors and number of self correction (9+6) and dividing that by the number of self corrections (6). I found this student to be an overall strong reader who was able to self-correct more times than not. The student was capable of sounding out most difficult words before needing complete help from teacher.


After listening to the students retelling of the story, I found that the student was able to absorb the knowledge they should have received from the text.  The student knew how fish and hales were alike and different. They knew that they were alike because they both have fins and flippers, and flippers are located on the sides. They knew that whales were big and fish were small, and that they were born in different ways. I found the student to do very well in recapping the story.

  1. I agree that she was a strong reader overall. She effectively self-corrected most of her mistakes using visual and structural cues.
