Case Study
o An overall analysis of the error types (substitutions, omissions) and cue usage (meaning, syntax,
visual). Overall, I think Sally had the most trouble with omitting words. When she came across a
word that was not familiar to her, she simply would avoid the word all together. Note: when we
were reading without a running record, we would stop at a word when she attempted to omit it and
figured out what the word was and what it meant! Additionally, I think Sally had more trouble with
meaning and visual. I think if she would have read slower, she could have easily understood what
the words meant. Additionally, she could have grasped the words visually if she had taken the time
to decode the word!
o A final evaluation what do you know about your students reading level, error types, and cue
usage? I know that Sally is well beyond a level N and should be challenged more often! When she
was challenged, she rose to the occasion. She mainly omitted words but would often self-corrected
a word if she said it wrong. For example, one time she said we instead of were. Yet, she quickly
changed it back (I think she was just reading too quickly)! Again, I found that her main problem was
visualizing the word in the text!
