>> Hi. This is for my teammates.
This is part one on how to give the basic reading inventory by Jerry Johns.
This is what you're going to need to get started.
You're going to need a calculator.
That's going to help you do your words per minute percentage.
You're going to need your timer.
You can also use the second hand of the [inaudible].
You're going to need a marker or a highlighter.
You're going to need a pen.
You're going to need for yourself this is a copy of the ROI that I'm going to be using.
Let me go over it really briefly.
Up here at the top is a place for you to assess background.
I don't have a standard way I assess background.
I just kind of ask some questions about the text and kind of ascertain
if I feel the student has low background, medium, or high.
And you'll see me in the actual ROI ask some questions.
We have the actual ROI.
These are very short.
This is where you're going to be recording any words the child misspells or omits.
It's also where you're going to show the evidence of their retell,
and there's lots of white space here to take notes.
You'll get to see that in the IRA.
So down here at the bottom we have total miscues.
That's any mistakes that the child makes.
And then significant miscues.
So if a child doesn't say the word A or the, anything that doesn't change the meaning
of a sentence is good, but if -- also names.
Not so much.
That doesn't really that's not significant.
You're looking for significant miscues.
And then it gives you a scale down here of your total miscues and your significant miscues
that you can figure out if they're independent, instructional, or frustrational.
So the first step that you'll see me do is have the student read out loud
and I will be recording any words that they misspell
and I'll also be timing them at the same time.
When they're done with their retell that's where I'm going to figure
out their words per minute and it's right down here.
So over here next to the division problem the -- excuse me.
The diviser is how many seconds.
That's important that if it's a minute it's not one that you're dividing by.
It's 60 seconds.
If it's 2 minutes it's 120 seconds.
If it's 3 minutes and so forth and so on.
And then you're going to divide by that number and get your words per minute.
And then you're going to do the retell and that's
where the marker or the highlighter comes in.
And I highlight the information as the student says it to me.
If they quote exactly from the text which many students do at this grade level, fourth grade,
I will actually highlight the actual words.
If they're paraphrasing I will highlight underneath.
So that shows they're giving me the information, but just in paraphrased form.
The other thing I do, and I don't usually do this with a highlighter,
I do it with my pen, is I also mark the order.
So if they told me something from here I'd put a one and then if they skip
down here I'd put a two next to it.
And if they went over here I'd put a three and so forth.
And that tells me if they'll be able to retell in order.
Down here is the retelling scale and Jerry Johns has a three section
or three point retelling scale.
Unsatisfactory.
Satisfactory.
And excellent.
I prefer to use a four point scale.
Basically a one which is they don't remember anything, and I do have kids
who say, "I don't remember anything."
Or they remember like one thing.
A two is, "Yeah.
You're getting there, but you're still not -- you're still unsatisfactory."
I often give that to kids who can give me lots of information, but none of it's in order.
So they're remembering a lot.
They're just not remembering the structure of the text.
I would call that a two.
And satisfactory I would give that a three.
And excellent a four.
So I give it a four point scale.
And then over here we have our questions.
And you'll notice the questions have a letter next to them.
There's always 10 questions in the basic reading inventory
and they're always the same number of questions on the topic.
So the first one is always T for the topic or main idea.
There's always five factual.
All right.
So we have our five fact questions.
They're facts from the story.
That's the F. We have two -- always two inferential questions.
We have one evaluative question and one vocabulary question.
There's a place to show you how many questions missed and what level that is.
And you write the number of questions missed.
When you're recording what I do is is they say the exact words
that are in the samples I circle them.
If they say something else I write it.
And then I also circle these just to give me a really quick run
down of what kinds of questions they're missing.
And then the last thing that you're going to need is the passages and I put the passages
in just a folder, three pronged folder.
And I have a section for fall, winter, and spring.
And they are starting from lowest to easiest.
Sorry there keeps being all these fits and starts,
but I keep having all these interruptions today.
You'd think at summer school there wouldn't be many people here.
But anyway so at the bottom of each of the passages is a kind
of a secret code as to what level it is.
So they don't actually have the level like clearly on them.
So it's down here in the bottom left-hand corner.
AA is your pre-primer and A is your primer.
And then you'll notice -- I don't know if you can see it on the camera, but there's a bunch
of numbers and this one says A7141.
This is a first grade passage because there's two number ones.
This one says 8224.
This is a second grade passage because there's two twos.
The numbers can be in any order.
But when there's two of the same number that gives you the grade level.
So I've got all my file ones here and then because I want fresh eyes in the midpoint
of the year I have another set for winter, another set for spring.
I believe in the basic reading inventory there is another set that I don't have in here
and then here is there's some longer versions.
So if you think, "Well, gosh.
This is way too short to do."
Here are your long narratives.
They start at third grade.
They don't have a long narrative form for K through 2.
But three and up they do and that's kind of nice for a little bit longer passage.
And I will do that towards the end of the year.
So that's everything that you need to set up and in the next video I'm going
to show you an actual ROI and then which just happens to be this and then I'm going to go
through how to analyze the ROI report that you get in the third video.
Thanks for tuning in.
Bye.
