Observations:  The student didn’t self­correct any of her miscues. All of which were not semantically acceptable which 
played a role on her comprehension of the passage. She also has a very high fluency rate which is apparently affecting her 
comprehension not just in this passage but others as well.

Observations:  The student has a tendency to skip whole lines or short phrases of lines which really affect her comprehension.
This could be because she reads very quickly and pays little attention to see if what she is reading makes sense. Here in the 
total of all 14 miscues, she only self­corrected once.

Observations:  Most of her miscues here are a result of skipping lines of the passage that she was assessed on. She again 
didn’t go back or self­correct when it didn’t make sense. Few of her miscues were semantically acceptable and 8 out of the 
15 were function words. Her rate is still high which makes me believe that she is reading so quickly in a way that drastically 
affects her comprehension.

Observations: She  has fewer miscues here and most of the ones that she made are very grammatically similar and for the 
most part are semantically acceptable. Despite her WRC score, her comprehension here was really low.
