Carnevale_08+Affective+Assessment


 * Grade Level:** 3
 * Content of Lesson:** Attitudes toward Reading
 * Objectives:** To understand how students feel about reading.
 * Assessment Criteria and Instrument:** I created a list of questions with the option of yes or no answers as an affective assessment.
 * Analysis of the Data:** The students all completed the questionnaire based on their outlook of reading. A small group of students did not like to read others nor do they volunteer to read at school. These questions can attribute to student confidence in reading. Students may not have automaticity and fluency skills in reading. Students may not prefer to read to in front of peers to avoid embarrassment if they were to make a mistake.
 * Recommendations for future instruction for the entire class:** No matter how positive a student’s attitude toward reading may be I insist students continue to read. Reading is prevalent in all subject areas. Also I recommend reading a wide variety of texts; the more exposure students have to reading the more comfortable they will become.
 * Recommendations for future instruction for the students sampled:** To ease student nerves I would have students who do not like to read to others practice a reading before hand. Repetition of a text will build student confidence when it is time to read to others. Also students can gradually begin by reading aloud to oneself then to a person of choice and eventually progress to a large group. For students who have positive attitudes toward reading I would suggest trying more challenging texts. Struggling with material will enhance their reading level.
