Question: For this young student, focus on the foundational reading skills that she displays. What does she know about phonemes, phonological awareness, 1:1 correspondence, rapid recognition of sight words and other things along these lines. As this video is an example of pre-reading skills, this could look a little different.

You will also need to address reading comprehension. Consider what she knows or needs to know about sentence structure.

The following instructions come directly from the Test Prep Manual:

Using your knowledge of reading pedagogy and the developmental progression of foundational reading skills and reading comprehension as described in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR), analyze the information provided and write a response of approximately 400-600 words in which you:

identify one significant need that the student demonstrates related to foundational reading skills (e.g., phonemic awareness skills, phonics skills, recognition of high-frequency words, syllabication skills, morphemic analysis skills, automaticity, reading fluency [i.e., accuracy, rate, and prosody]), citing specific evidence from the exhibits, particularly the Word-Reading Assessment, Passage-Reading Assessment, and Fluency Data, to support your analysis;

describe one appropriate, effective instructional strategy or activity that would address the student's need you identified related to foundational reading skills and help the student achieve relevant grade-level standards;

identify one significant need that the student demonstrates related to reading comprehension (e.g., vocabulary knowledge; knowledge of sentence and grammatical structures; application of literal, inferential, or evaluative comprehension skills; use of comprehension strategies; application of text analysis skills to a literary or informational text), citing specific evidence from the exhibits, particularly the Comprehension Assessment, to support your analysis;

describe one appropriate, effective instructional strategy or activity that would address the need you identified related to the student's reading comprehension and help the student achieve relevant grade-level standards; and explain why each of the instructional strategies or activities you described would be effective in addressing the needs you identified and in helping the student achieve grade-level reading standards as described in the TEKS for ELAR.
