READING COMPONENT STRENGTHS
Phonemic Awareness This assessment is not applicable
because Victoria is already reading
at a fifth grade reading level.
Phonics/ Decoding Victoria is a very fluent reader.
Victoria monitors her own reading,
and reads for meaning. At times,
Victoria substitutes small words, but
these changes do not alter the
structure or meaning of the
sentence.
Vocabulary Victoria has a vocabulary skill level
of a sixth grade student. She is
above average in this literacy
element.
Fluency Victoria practices accurate decoding,
and automatic word recognition.
Comprehension The results of the Basic Reading
Inventory indicate that Victoria has
learned how to pay attention to the
topic of a story, most of its facts, and
is able to understand the vocabulary
that is included in the story.
Writing Victoria was able to include a clear
and understandable story focus, has
a good understanding of how to
organize writing, and remembers to
use conventions most of the time
when writing.

This means that if Victoria is given a
book that she is interested in, she
will probably read it independently
and enjoy learning from it.
CHALLENGES
N/A
N/A
Victoria must apply the words she
knows and understands to the
literature she reads. Victoria must
now learn how to use her vocabulary
skills when expressing herself
through writing.
Victoria should concentrate on the
last component of fluency, which is
the appropriate use of stress, pitch,
and suitable phrasing.
Victoria was asked ten
comprehension questions about the
story The Mystery. Out of the ten
questions that she was asked, she
missed one fact question and one
inference question. The fact
question was connected to the
description of the mystery person,
and the inference question was
connected to the story’s solution.
The results of the missed questions
suggest that Victoria must learn to
internalize the entire events of the
story, from beginning to end.
Victoria must now learn to add detail
and depth to her writing.
Victoria does not enjoy reading her
schoolbooks, and was not
enthusiastic about her guided
reading group.
