Strategy: Drilling Error Words - Western Michigan University



|Strategy: Drilling Error Words |

|Age Appropriate: 1st through 12th grade |

|Procedures/Steps: Students use drill and practice to learn words that they read incorrectly in a reading passage. |

|When a student reads a passage, write down all the words read incorrectly and put |

|them in a separate “error word log”. |

|After reading, write down error words on index cards. |

|Review the cards with the student. When they read a word correctly, remove it from the error word set. If a word is read |

|incorrectly, pronounce it for the student and have them repeat it. Then ask “what word?” and direct the student to repeat the word |

|once more. This card remains in the error word set. |

|Cards in the error set are presented until all have been read correctly. All cards are then reshuffled and presented again to the |

|student. They are to progress through the card until either time runs out or they do not make an error on two consecutive cards. |

|Comments/Tips: |

|If student originally reads more than twenty words incorrectly, use only the first twenty on the list. |

|If student reads less than twenty words incorrectly, choose more words from that student’s error log to compose a list of twenty |

|words. |

|Provide positive feedback during this procedure. |
