Pre-Primer 1
I wasn’t sure what to expect of the student when we started the words lists. She is a 3rd
grader but has reading difficulties. Starting with Pre-Primer 1 she was able to identify all the
words but the word of. I believe she is familiar with the word because when she spelled it in the
WADE assessment, she spelled it f-o. She knows the parts of it but couldn’t put it together.
When she read it here, she said off. I think if I asked her to look at it again, she would get it. She
Pre-Primer 2/3
The student was able to correctly identify all the words except for three on the Pre-Primer
2/3 list. To this point I do not see a pattern of errors. Her first miscue was a long vowel word that
she used a short vowel sound in. Her second miscue was the word were and she said where and
the third miscue was the word look and she said like. Those second two miscue seemed to just be
guessing on or she thought she knew them by sight, but she didn’t. She was still in the
Primer
The Primer word list was much like the first two except that she ended up in the
independent level for words correctly identified. She was able to read every word apart from the
word going she said go. I think if I stopped her and asked her to try again, she would have been
able to read it. Overall, I feel she did much better on these word lists than the WADE
assessments. It is possible she was more comfortable working with me at this point or she could
The student was still able to work through the first grade word list with relative ease. This
is the first place I was able to see patterns in the words that she struggled with. In this section she
started missing words with vowel combinations in them. The four words that she couldn’t
identify were enough, brain, heard, and afraid. She would start to sound the words out but didn’t
know what to do with the vowel combinations when she got to them. She still ended up in the
instructional level for words correct overall. Now, I was excited to see how she did with the next
Second
I did end up seeing the same problem in the second grade word list as I did in the first.
Three of the five words she identified incorrectly had vowel combinations in them. I was also
pleasantly surprised that she still ended up in the instructional level for this list as well. I know
that this is only one assessment, but it did give me the impression that she was able to read at a
Third
The student struggled through reading the words on the third grade word list. She was
only able to identify seven words out of twenty. Her miscues on this list were more than just
vowel combinations but I didn’t see any other patterns. She ended up scoring on the frustration
level, so I discontinued administering passages after this one. Even before I got to reading
