Opitz Chapter 8


Chapter 8
Through this chapter, I really enjoyed reading about the purpose of an informal reading inventory. When I completed this in my undergrad I was able to use the information gathered from the inventory to create effective teaching strategies in order to improve my student’s reading skills. Through watching the videos as well as reading this chapter, I feel as though I am much more prepared to code as well as give a reading inventory. I found with my student that I am tutoring I was able to gain a better understanding of his functioning reading level. This has allowed me to better my teaching during reading. I have never administered a running record before to any of my students. I found it interesting that this assessment does not measure a students comprehension on a story. I feel as though this is one of the most important aspects for a student's reading fluency. A student may be able to read a text but it is essential for a student to be able to comprehend the reading. I found this reading very helpful and beneficial in that I am currently working at a school for students that are identified with language-related learning differences that include dyslexia
