Administering Level A

One-On-One Section
Reading Aloud for Fluency

Administration - Types of Errors:

• • Substitution

    • e.g., bird instead of bear

  • Mispronunciation

    • e.g., fell instead of fall

    • Words pronounced with an accent are counted as correct if they cannot be confused with other English words

  • Omissions

    • i.e., skipped words

    • If the student stops or struggles with a word for 3 seconds, you may tell the student the word and count it as an error

Speaker Notes:

Facilitator Notes:

In reviewing this slide, make sure that participants understand that there are only 3 error indicators; substitution, mispronunciations, and omissions. They do not have to indicate the type of error, simply record the total number of errors.

Sometimes participants want to compare this scoring method to the Running Record. State that this is not a running record and repeat the types of errors to count.

See page 16 of the Scoring Guide for more information regarding errors.
