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

SMILE, DON'T CRY!

Source from: dreamstime.com
As I reflected on where I was at this point in the semester, I felt that this motivational quote was a good inspiration for me.  Why?  Motivation is the driving force that keeps one going toward one’s goal.  It is the energy that gives you strength to get up and keep on going even when things aren’t going your way.  Among the many challenges in life with family, work, and school, I definitely feel overwhelmed.  My goal is to complete this course by making my best efforts no matter the circumstances.  One major challenge is completing the Diagnostic Report in a timely manner.  The Diagnostic Report is like a jigsaw puzzle with all of its component pieces.  Although several pieces of the report have already been completed, due to many foreseen and unforeseen circumstances, more session hours are still needed to work with my student to complete the rest of the puzzle.  So in order to achieve the best outcomes and reach my goals, I must accept the situation and think positive!  I CHOOSE not to CRY! I WILL not CRY!  I WILL focus on the thousand reasons to SMILE!  CHEESE!

    Nadine,

    Your positive attitude will certainly make a difference as you complete your diagnostic case report. Training to be a reading specialist is challenging, but the activities will enrich and ultimately build your schema. There's no doubt that taking the time to SMILE brings much hope that will carry you through your challenges. You can do it!

    Best regards,
    Dr. Rivera :)
