Video Analysis


In the beginning of the video, I really liked how she was able to ask the student a few questions about her view on reading. This allows you to get a better idea of whether or not the student enjoys reading. Also, I found it important to gather information on which type of stories the student is interested in. This provides the teacher with a better idea of which stories the student would like to read in order to incorporate them into different lessons.  I have given a student a QRI during my student teaching and I found that when you are able to explain to students that this will not negatively effect their grade and that they should not be nervous, then they are much more relaxed and as a result, more successful.
When I complete the QRI, I will make sure to make the student feel very comfortable and remind the student that it is ok if he/she does not know a word. This test should not be administered to stress out a student, but rather to gather a better idea of a students’ reading level in order to become a more effective teacher.
