The class session was spent continuing the series of QRI assessments. The focus of last weeks session was on the narrative assessments. This week's session was dedicated to the expository assessments. Just as expected, the student scored at the frustration level. We're told to include these in the case report, however these new assessments shed no light on the reading level of the student.

Hang in there Alan. I think that as far as reporting the results of our assessments, we just have to write about our findings. In the QRI-4 Narrative, it would be to write that after reading the passage, he scored a certain number of points which indicates that he is at the frustration level which means that he is not at the reading level expected for his age/grade based on the QRI-4. It would also be good to write what you observed while he was taking the assessment. Recording the sessions helped me to spend less time writing exactly what the student said and more time to write about what I observed. Now if I am off-base, I hope someone sets me straight right away.
