Module 2 - Reading Inventory Demo Video Reflection

       I enjoyed watching this video because it was useful and informational. I will conduct a reading survey verbally using the Fountas & Pinnell questions as a guide. The teacher at the beginning of the video sounded like she was also asking a couple of questions from this survey. The teacher asked the student to read the word list. I noticed that she said that the student can “skip” any difficult words. I would want my students to try out the words instead of just saying “skip” to words they are able to sound out. I think this word list would be her instructional or frustration level because she had to sound out and think about most of the words. She also skipped two words after attempting the beginning sounds of those words. I did like how she corrected herself on the first word “focus”. I could tell that she was breaking the words into syllables or beginning/ending sounds. I would encourage my tutee to try all of the words on the list so I can gather a word automaticity rate along with levels for frustration, independent reading and instructional reading.
