Assignment #3 Introduction to QRI5 (Qualitative Reading Inventory 5). ( Post it on your blog)
Read all the content (texts and video clips) on the CD to orient yourself with QRI5. It highlights QRI5 in a nutshell. We will start learning how to conduct each part of assessment next week. This CD comes with your book. In the CD, you will find the video clips, audio clips, and forms and figures. Go through all CD content (texts and video clips) and answer the following questions:
To me, QRI5 is a wonderful tool for a want-to-be teacher. I realize the importance of assessment but have no idea where to start and what the benchmark is. QI5 provides me not only a tool but some confidence. This informal reading inventory enables teachers to evaluate students' reading level with optional ways. The result could be an accountable reference for teachers if they would like to take intervention instruction. And as other assessments, it could be used to document students' improvement.
- What is the purpose of using QRI5?
I believe the purpose of using QRI5 is to take a proactive step to find out the at-risk or emergent students in reading. Through the process, teachers could estimate students' level in terms of reading and comprehension both by listed materials. Then, teachers can apply the information to match students with appropriate reading materials, place children in guided reading groups, design instruction to address students needs.
- Have you seen similar assessment activities like QRI5? What are they?
I have not seen similar assessments before due to the different national education system. But I found out a website provided some useful information, here is the URL, https://goo.gl/j2q5DY
- What is your impression of QRI5?
To me, it's very helpful for a teacher having a scientific and systematic assessment activity. The model is designed logically and explicitly. When I quickly go through the designated textbook, I found adequate sources in the eText. The videos encompass demonstrations of retelling direction, look-back procedure, think-aloud procedure. For users who would like to practice scoring, the eText even provides students' recording. I believe if I could learn step by step, I would develop professional ability to assess and help my students.
