Administering QRI IV



Administering QRI IV

Order of Administration

• Flashed Word List (WRI)

• Passages (WRC, fluency)

• Comprehension Questions (comprehension)

Flashed Word List

What You Will Need…

• PowerPoint of the word lists

• copies of the word lists (pg. 126-130)

• pencil

Flashed Word List Procedures

• Begin at least two grade levels below the student’s current grade.

• Say to the student,

o “I am going to show you a list of words. The words will flash on the screen and then go away. The words will start off easy and then get harder. They are supposed to do this. Try to say each word that appears on the screen.”

• The forward arrow begins the slideshow, the back arrow pauses the show

• As the student reads each word, mark the response on your sheet

o correct response-- check mark

o incorrect response-- write what student says

• IF the student misses or mispronounces a word…

o Stop slideshow by pressing back arrow.

o Say to student, “Try that one again.”

o Write the second try in the second column of answer sheet.

o If they get the word correct the second time, mark with a check.

Flashed Word List Scoring

• To score each list, divide the total number of words the student said correctly by the total number of words.

• Continue to administer the next list until the student reaches FRUSTRATION level or misses 11 of the 20 words.

|WRI Flashed Scores |

|Independent |90-100 |

|Instructional |51-89 |

|Frustration |50 and below |

• On pgs. 126-130, you DO NOT have to complete “Total Number Correct” column.

• IGNORE the percentages on the QRI IV sheet—follow the percentages listed above.

Passages

How to Determine Which Passage to Give

▪ Begin with the passage that matches the highest instructional level reached on the word list (WRI).

▪ Example: John scored instructional on the 4th (67%) and 5th (55%) word lists, but reached frustration at 6th (47%). He would be given the 5th grade passage because it is the highest instructional level he reached.

What You Will Need…

▪ a student copy of the passage

▪ an examiner copy of the passage, including comprehension questions

▪ a stopwatch or timer

▪ a pencil

▪ a calculator

Passage Procedure

▪ Before Reading

o Begin by asking the Concept Questions and eliciting a prediction-- found on examiner copy of passage. (Passages begin on pg. 131)

o Jot down student’s responses. You DO NOT have to write down what is said word for word.

o These are asked to establish comfort and for you to determine prior knowledge

▪ During Reading

o Ask student to read the passage aloud to you. Tell him that you will be timing his reading, but to read normally.

o Tell the student to start whenever he is ready. Once he starts reading, start the timer.

o As student reads, mark errors in the reading on your examiner copy.

|Count as Errors |

|Insertions ( |

|Omissions ( |

|Substitutions ( |

|Reversals |

|Examiner Help ( ) |

|Proper Name- 1 error |

|Omit Entire Line- 1 error |

|Self-Correction ( |

|Don’t Count as Errors |

|Hesitation |

|Repetition |

|Omit Punctuation |

|Phrasing |

|Fingerpointing |

|Prosody |

|Fidgeting |

o As the student reads, mark errors.

o Add up the errors and write the number at the end of each line.

o After the student finishes the passage, STOP the timer and record the time on your examiner sheet.

o After the student finishes the passage, add up the total number of errors and write it on your examiner sheet.

Comprehension Questions

Procedure

▪ After student has finished reading, ask the comprehension questions for that passage.

▪ Recording Responses

o correct responses-- check mark

o incorrect responses-- jot down what was said (doesn’t have to be word for word)

How to Calculate Scores for Passages/Comprehension

Word Recognition in Context (WRC)

▪ Divide the total number of words read correctly by the total number of words in the passage.

▪ Formula: number of words in passage – number of errors

number of words in passage

|WRC Scores |

|Independent |98-100 |

|Instructional |95-97 |

|Marginal Instructional |90-94 |

|Frustration |89 and below |

Fluency (WPM)

▪ Convert your time (minutes/seconds) into seconds.

▪ Plug the time in seconds into the formula on the examiner copy.

▪ Calculate according to the formula.

|Fluency Rates—Grade Level Expectations |

|Primer |40 wpm |

|First |60 wpm |

|Second |80 wpm |

|Third |100 wpm |

|Fourth and Up |140 wpm |

Comprehension

▪ Divide the number of questions answered correctly by the total number of questions.

|Comprehension Scores |

|Independent |90-100 |

|Instructional |51-89 |

|Frustration |50 and below |

Administration Suggestions

▪ Administer flashed word lists first to all students

▪ Then you will know what and how many passages and examiner sheets you will need to make copies of.

▪ Estimate of Time

o Word Lists-- 5 min/student

o Passages-- 10 min/student

How do I structure class-- Activities

▪ Independent Reading/Writing

▪ Film and activity (writing)

▪ Guest Speaker

▪ Reading Interest Inventories

▪ Journaling (shared stories)

▪ Any other independent activity

How do I structure class—Teacher

▪ Teacher and student being tested at “back table”-- students in classroom

▪ Teacher and student being tested outside classroom-- students in classroom

▪ “Coverage schedule” where teachers cover classrooms for each other-- gives ability to test in other locations

Parts of QRI IV you DO NOT have to do

▪ Flashed Word Lists

o “Total Number Correct” Percentage

▪ Passages

o “Total Acceptability”

▪ Fluency Rate

o CWPM (corrected words per minute)

▪ Retelling

▪ Comprehension

o Look-backs or writing out complete responses
