Administering the Grade 5 Tests To administer the oral reading section: • Have a clock or watch with a second hand or a stopwatch available to time the student’s reading. • Explain that the test has two parts. First, you’ll listen to the student read a passage aloud. Then you’ll ask questions about it. If a student has trouble decoding a word, remind him or her to use the Decoding Strategy. • Time the student’s reading for 30 seconds. • Record errors by drawing a line through mispronounced or omitted words. Write in words that the student inserts. Mark self-corrections with SC above the word. • Mark an X on the last word that the student reads at 30 seconds. • Allow the student to finish reading the entire passage. To administer the comprehension and vocabulary questions: • At the end of the reading ask the questions provided, and have the student respond orally. • Give the student a reasonable time to respond. Use the rubric on the teacher’s test form to evaluate the response. Record a number. Additional resources for week 9 assessment: Fluency: (Reading A-Z Grade level correlation chart)
