Summary:
LaNiya actually did a very good job reading the two passages we selected. She seemed to be more comfortable with the “Mrs. Frisby and the Crow” passage. I asked her after the reading, and she stated that she really likes that story. LaNiya also seems very comfortable with the idea of reading and seems to enjoy it. She was very happy to read for me when I called her over.
When it came to her errors, Laniya seemed to rely heavily on visual and meaning. Most of her errors started with the same sound and for the most part made some sense in the sentence as a whole. I also noticed that she relied heavily on teacher assistance. She didn’t really try to attack or decode any of the words she came across that she didn’t readily know. She asked for my help and just sat there and waited numerous times. In future
