38. One way of assessing students' reading is to take a closer look at the mistakes they make. Whether it be insertion, omission, substitution, or during the process, if the teacher supplies the word when the reader struggles or self-corrects, this information helps ascertain how a reader processes the printed word. This type of assessment is known as _____.
(A) Running Record
(B) Anecdotal Records
(C) Miscue Analysis
(D) Reading Portfolio

Miscue Analysis 誤讀分析

A miscue analysis is the process of tracking and recording reader miscues, then reviewing the miscues to find a pattern. The purpose is to categorize these miscues and understand the strategies the reader uses and strategies the reader needs to learn.

Types of miscues include correction, insertion, omission, repetition, reversal, and substitution. Teachers use two tools to identify and analyze student miscues. A miscue analysis is for categorizing reader miscues and determining the reading strategies the student knows and needs to know.

Running Record 過程紀錄

A running record is an assessment tool that provides information to a teacher about a child's fluency and use of cues to figure out a word.

One example of a running record would be if the text reads "The cow jumped over the moon," and the student read "The car jumped over the fence," then the student made two errors out of six words. The teacher would record a checkmark, the word car, two more checkmarks, and the word fence on the running record form.

The process of conducting a running record includes the teacher taking notes on the student's errors and corrections when he or she is orally reading a leveled text. From this data, teachers can plan lessons to meet the needs of students and collect data to show growth over time.

＊What is the difference between miscue analysis and running record?

Miscue analysis is a means to use a running record for diagnosis to identify students' specific difficulties. Not only is the running record a way to identify reading rate and reading accuracy, but it also is a way to assess reading behaviors and identify reading behaviors that need support.
