How to Score Errors and SC
• Look at your record form.
• Record MSV in the error column
• Look at error up to the point of
error.
• For SC, analyze both the error
and SC.
Using the Data to Make Instructional
Decisions
Planning a lesson
• Know the reading level of the group
• Know their strength and weaknesses with strategies
• Choose your focus based on data
• Pick a book that matches reading level and will build on
processing strengths
• Read through the lens of your students
• Plan intro, word work and teaching points
• Reflect: What did the students learn to do today that they
couldn’t do yesterday?
Strategies are
• Unobservable
• In the head processes
• A complex “network”
• They allow the learner to use, transform, relate,
interpret and reproduce information for
communication
