Diagnostic Case Report Criteria


DIAGNOSTIC CASE REPORT CRITERIA:

Dear ED643 Students,

I'm sure that your students are grateful for all that you've done for them. As you continue to work closely with them with the various reading sessions (especially during next semester), they will READ with a more positive disposition. Keep up the instrumental work, and don't forget that you must include the following in your diagnostic case report before it can be approved:

1. For the interview with the child, it is not enough to list the child’s responses. You must also analyze the responses to describe what the data reveal about the child’s perceptions of him/herself as a reader and writer.

2. Determine the independent, instructional, and frustration levels on graded word lists, oral reading of narrative and expository, silent reading of oral and expository, as well as listening comprehension.

3. Compare these levels and analyze the data to describe the child as a reader in the conclusion of the report. Ensure that you also summarize the child as a writer in the conclusion. List and describe the recommended strategies for both reading and writing.

4. Provide an analysis of the miscues that the students made on the graded word lists and the passages. Read the section in the QRI-4 on how to analyze the miscues.

Do your best to include the aforementioned, so that you can prepare a quality Diagnostic Case Report to share with the parents. Good luck!

Best regards,
Dr. Rivera

Learning

"Learning is acquired by reading books, but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various facets of them."Lord Chesterfield (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/learning_2.html) Chapters 5,6 and 7 impacted me in a manner that made me realize that in order for students to learn, I as a teacher should be totally involved. The learning environment has to be prepared so that it targets and focuses on the needs of the students. Processes and products should be differentiated and organized so that they meet the demands of each child. I should observe more so that my students can do more. I also realize that my instruction should be anchored on where my students are at based on assessment. Finding the right tools and medium of instruction is also critical. All students/children are capable of learning to read and write. Some take longer than others. Some take a different route and learn in diverse ways. It does not matter. What matters is that learning happens.

  1. So true! What matters is that learning is happening! It is our job to find solutions to the problems of the students in our class. We are the ones that inspire young minds. Everything starts with us!
