Word Study: Miscues
COACH'S EVALUATION  GUIDE

This handbook is intended for reading teachers or coaches as a brief  introduction to Corrections and Interventions (CSML-036) and Informal Reading Inventory (IRI) (CSML-037).

Errors in word study are often referred to as miscues. Emerging or underachieving readers can be taught more quickly when we understand the miscues, or mistakes, being made by the student. The following section—Corrections and Interventions—will assist you with techniques and practices to handle common reading errors and difficulties.

Miscue analysis allows the coach to observe and record the student’s oral reading. Using an Informal Reading Inventory (IRI) and recording the types of errors enables you to decide which lessons you will need to re-teach. The reading mini lessons in this series will help you accelerate the reading process. You may want to tape record one of these diagnostic sessions; if not, definitely take notes.
