Word Processing Assessment

Below are definitions for the words chosen from the text. Guess the word and fill in the missing letters

Zarennah can read the word list for her grade level. She scored in a higher percentile for the number of words correct. She never had more than two words consecutively wrong in a row. Many of the words she was counted wrong were because she said the incorrect ending for the words. Overall Zarennah finished this list of words quickly. I think if she were given this list a second time and she went slower I think the result of this assessment would be different.

Based on George’s current age and level of performance, I will be using a Spelling Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM), adapted from Hosp, Hosp, & Howell, 2007. The Spelling CBM will require George to listen to a list of words given by the teacher and do his best to spell the correctly. The first list of words given will be grade level. Depending on the results, the next list may be altered. The results of this test will indicate which grade level George is at in this specific academic area.

Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Many times when we write, we tend to over-use “fancy” words and try too hard to make our writing sound smart. This extra “fluff” and weirdly placed “buzz words” may not quite make sense in the context, but “of course, they’re AP vocab words I have to use them and it is a very loose synonym so it works right?” Sometimes, the best, and most “smart-sounding” way to get your point across is to write it out straight forward and not discombobulate your main idea with extra and unnecessary phrases and words. Less is more.

A few examples include imagery, figurative language, diction, and tone. In order for a reader to investigate the symbolism embedded in a text piece, he or she must analyze its appearance, meaning, and sound. The Siren scene in The Odyssey by Homer exhibits imagery, a type of author’s craft. One example of this would include when Odysseus was working to mold the beeswax

The OSSLT (Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test) is an evaluation taken in Grade 10 which is a requirement to achieve your high school diploma. The test will take place on April 10th, 2018 and students not writing the OSSLT are not required to go to school that day.

As you read, use the Evidence column to record examples from the text that show how setting affects character.

Describe at least one important character in the text(s). Explain how the character changes throughout the text(s), supporting your points with visual and / or oral language features.

Questioning is a method of testing knowledge by asking the learner a series of questions related to the performance criteria. It is important that the assessor plans the questions beforehand, ensuring that open questions are used, and identifies the means of recording them, whether it be written; voice recorded or videoed. Questioning can be a very useful assessment method used alongside other methods. With observation, in particular, ‘what if’ questions can be used for evidence that might be hard to obtain, for example.

Does the writer use punctuation to create an effect? Italics, underlining, parentheses? Which marks does the writer use, and when?

Thinking about the I search scared me as an underclassman. It baffled me how I was going to write so many pages and gather so much information on just one word. I began thinking of the perfect word that would be so familiar to me that writing this paper would seem effortless. After thinking about it long and hard, I figured it out; courage. I wanted to write about this word because I believe that this word is so powerful and would be interesting to write about. Courage is such an inspiring and motivational word that I was intrigued to find more information on it. This word has also shown itself throughout my life, so I wanted to be able to write about a word that means so much to me. There has been hardship shown in many different ways as i

This study is a conceptualized replication of the Howes and Solomon (1951) experiment investigating word accuracy and word frequency in short duration trials. It is hypothesized that words that appear more often in printed text (easier to access in the lexicon) will be more accurately identified rather than words that appear less commonly. A total of 83 participants in the study were presented with words taken from the Throndike-Lorge database. The words were presented for one second with a six second rest in the middle. This was done sixty times and the results suggest a moderate strong relationship between word accuracy and frequency. Though there are multiple factors that may have influenced these results.

The Wilson Reading System (WRS) is marketed for students from grades 2 to 12 who are not making sufficient progress with their current Tier 2 intervention and need a more intensive intervention at Tier 3. It is used most often with students in upper elementary to high school. The program can also be used with adults who need remedial reading services. Specifically, the program is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction. This approach relies on direct instruction, incorporates ideas of “how” and “why” individuals learn to read, and explores multi-sensory methods (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic). It is intended for individuals who have problems with phonological awareness or orthographic processing.

In an effort to gain useable and positive feedback from English language learners, teachers must use ongoing assessments. Whereas standardized tests only give information on students during a certain part of the year, ongoing assessments will allow teachers to monitor students’ progress throughout the year. Informal assessments are very beneficial in monitoring the progress of students. One type of informal assessment is the use of role playing. During role playing, students are given opportunities to speak in English dealing with different situations. This assessment will let the teacher observe how well the student is comprehends the scenarios and how they respond to them. This type of assessment is effective because it allows students to put the English language into use increasing their English
