Part 1: Literacy Assessments and Student Reading ProfileIn collaboration with your mentor, select two literacy assessments you will administer to a student identified by your mentor. You may select tests available in topic Resources, such as DIBELS or EasyCBM.com, or you may use assessments your mentor provides. You may assess any basic literacy skills or knowledge, including but not limited to, letter names, letter sounds, phoneme segmentation, word reading fluency, oral reading fluency, or reading comprehension. (Each assessment should only take 1-2 minutes to administer.)After administering the assessments, analyze the assessment data collaboratively with your mentor teacher, and complete the “Student Reading Profile ” template to summarize the data and identify the student’s reading strengths, areas for growth, and reading goals. Use a pseudonym to protect the student’s identity.In addition, gather other classroom data and information on the student from your mentor. This may include: • Information from or about the student’s family • Writing samples • Observational and behavioral data • Anecdotal records • Other assessment data Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class. Part 2: ReflectionWrite a 250-500 word reflection on the following: • Summarize the additional classroom data and information obtained from your mentor. • Identify 2-3 instructional strategies that would support the reading goals identified on the profile. • Explain how the data collected informs the strategies.
