with the student– Complete the Error Analysis Chart for students to whom

you will provide targeted GK instruction– The Error Analysis Chart is designed for use with students

who are having difficulty with the Word Reading task, not all students

17Correct Story Reading Administration & Scoring

• SAY: I’m going to ask you to read a story. The title of the story is _____________. After you read it, I’ll ask you a few questions. Read the story out loud to me.

• DO: Place the Story Booklet in front of the student. Start the stopwatch when the student reads the first word of the story. As the student reads, mark errors on the Student Record Sheet.

• Mark any words not read correctly with a slash ( / ) on the Student Record Sheet.

• Story reading errors include:– Mispronunciations – The student pronounces the word incorrectly. This includes leaving off –s, –ed and

–ing endings. – Substitutions – The student replaces the correct word with a different word. – Omissions – The student skips a word. – Reversals – The student reads adjacent words in the wrong order. – Hesitations – The student pauses for longer than 3 seconds or takes longer than 3 seconds to sound

out a word. In these cases, provide the word and count it as an error. • Items not considered errors:

– Insertions – The student adds a whole word that does not appear in the text. – Self-corrections – The student makes an error, but then corrects the error. – Repetitions – The student reads the same word or phrase multiple times. – Loss of place – The student skips a line or loses their place. Redirect the student to the correct place in

the story and allow the stopwatch to continue to run.

• If the student reads the same word incorrectly multiple times throughout a story, count the word as an error each time it is read incorrectly. All words, including names, are scored in the same way.

Grade 1

18EOY – Grade 1 Reading Comprehension

• Ask the comprehension questions listed on the student record sheet

• Questions may be repeated only at the student’s request

• Wording of questions should not be changed• The only prompting allowed is to remind the

student to look back at the story• Score 1 for correct and 0 for incorrect (do not

give ½ points)• Sample answers are provided, but rely on your


Grade 1

19Scoring Developed (D) for Reading Comprehension

• Students who listen to a story after reaching frustration cannot score D for Reading Comprehension

• On an individual story students can score D for reading comprehension by answering 5-6 questions correctly, but there is not an overall D criteria for reading comprehension

• To consider students' comprehension scores in relation to each other (when grouping students, for example), there are several common and efficient approaches – Look at whether students scored D on both stories, 1 story

or 0 stories– Look at the total number of comprehension questions that

students answered correctly for both stories– Look at the type of questions students answered correctly

Grade 1

20Determining Average Fluency Scores

• Average fluency rates for the two EOY stories (Story 5 & Story 6) can be used for reporting, grouping students and for planning instruction

• If a student scores at the frustrational level on a story, do not calculate the fluency rate

• Students who reach frustration on Story 5 & 6 will not have an average fluency rate

• If the student is only able to read one story, then the teacher records the fluency rate for that one story as the average

• If the student is able to read both stories at the instructional or independent level, then the average fluency rate is determined using this formula:

(Story 5 rate + Story 6 rate) ÷ 2 = Avg. rate

Grade 2


• At EOY there is no Screening Section

• Students take the Word Reading portion of the inventory for the set/s on which they previously scored SD

22Grade 2 EOY Spelling Task

• The spelling task, GK-1, is the same as at BOY and MOY

• If a student scored D on a set at BOY, that set does not have to be administered– Since the spelling test is designed as a group-administered task,

in most cases all sets will be administered to all students at EOY, regardless of their performance at BOY and MOY


• An Error Analysis Chart helps teachers understand students’ specific spelling confusion
