Reading comprehension and Auditory Memory After administering the Informal Reading Inventory test to a student named Michael and looking over the results, I came to the conclusion that his weakness lies in both reading comprehension due to listening vocabulary deficiencies as well as a weakness in auditory memory. The term paper is to develop an intervention plan or program to address the needs of the child ( ie: how to improve his reading comprehension skills and his auditory memory) Describe how and why this program, the steps, the activities will be beneficial for this particular student, analyze the program, and reflect on it. Discuss each activity, if you have more than one, in detail. To support your rationale, use literature related to the problem and to the intervention. You can use references from what you have learned in the course and from other sources in the APA format. Consider what assessments will be used throughout the intervention program. Specify which assessments will be used and the rationale, describe how often the assessments will be administered.
ALSO:
? indicate what areas and skills will be assessed
? consider what they (as teachers) will do if the student has not mastered a skill
? create next steps if the assessment is not meeting the needs of the teacher and student
? explain how the assessments will be used to develop further lesson plans
? describe how they will communicate the results to the child, parents, and other teachers who are teaching the child
? develop ways of using both summative and formative assessments that are used within their intervention programs
? explain how the assessments are linked to the intervention program and State standards/Core Curriculum Learning Standards
