SPECIAL NOTES

Information on the following is given in the body of Chapter 8:

1. Code for marking oral reading errors (p. 154) 2. The scoring of oral reading errors (p. 155) 3. Criteria for estimating the reading levels (p. 164) 4. Administering the IRI (pp. 155?164) 5. Examples (pp. 156?167)

Partial credit may be given for comprehension questions if an answer consists of more than one part. For example, if the answer to a question consists of three names, and the student has named only one, the student should get one-third credit. If the answer to a question consists of two things, and the student gives only one, the student should receive half credit.

Do not count mispronunciations of difficult proper nouns in the oral reading passages as errors. You may pronounce these for the children if necessary. Also, do not count as errors dialectical equivalents (nonstandard dialects); however, these should be noted.

In addition, the term main idea is used rather than central idea, even though the oral and silent passages are usually more than one paragraph. (See "Finding the Central Idea of a Group of Paragraphs" in Chapter 10, page 222.)
