| SILENT READING |
This model is designed to guide the teach through the steps of analyzing a pupil's oral reading. Although the goal of most reading instruction is silent reading, oral reading is used because it provides the richest behavioral sample for analysis. As the student reads, the instructor examines the reading behavior starting with comprehension (because it is the most important and is the ultimate goal) and progresses through the other components of the reading process (i.e., sight words, word attack, visual processing, and language). Print out the model and use it to analyze the reading error patters in the "Otters" stories.
