General Information
o Student: Jaylen Lee
o Current Grade Level: Fifth
o Chronological Age: 10 years
o Current Reading Level: Pre-Primer

Data Collected and Clinical Information
o Information of Assessments
Jaylen did not get very far on the assessments we
conducted. He read an average of 29% of the Durr Sight
Words from lists 1-5. When reading the Sentences for Initial
Passage Selection, he read very few words correctly and
only read one full sentence, (i.e., The boy was jumping). We
began with the Pre-Primer Narrative Passage, and Jaylen
described the pictures with quite simple sentences (i.e.,
“The girl is riding”) related to the pictures. With regard to
the Primer Level, he used the pictures to read the passages,
but his reading was only accurate for the first of the four
pictures. With the Phonics Competency Test, Jaylen read
40% of the CVC words in the first paragraph, and only 5% of
the Consonant clusters-short vowel words in the second
paragraph. When assessing Jaylen’s knowledge of the
basic letter sounds, he was able to respond correctly for
each letter. When adding letters to words he knew (i.e., “it”
became “kit” and “fit”) Jaylen did not read the words
accurately and continued to use substitutions.

Analysis of Data
o Description of Assessment Behaviors:
The client read words he knew in isolation more
accurately than when they were within text. When he
came across a word he did not know, he would substitute
it for a word he knew that often began with the same
letter. The student displays no knowledge of phonics
rules and does not attempt to sound out words unless
prompted to do so. The words he used to substitute did
not make sense in the sentence or paragraph. With
regard to comprehension, the student answered very few
questions correctly. The questions he could answer
accurately related to simple Wh questions, such as,
“Who was the story about?”
The attitude/interest survey revealed that the
student either does not know he is a poor reader or he
does not wish to admit it. It also showed that he does
very little reading at home and enjoys spending his time
playing sports and watching television. He says his
teacher helps him a lot in school with reading and
writing. Writing is also a non-preferred activity, and it is
easier when the student writes about a subject of
interest. Finally, Jaylen mutters his words by not moving
his mouth when he speaks, speaking in a low tone, and
running his words and sounds together.

Instructional Plans
o Strengths:
• This student has a great attitude and is willing to
work on his reading deficiencies.
• This student tries quite hard to discern text from
looking at a picture.
• Jaylen has already begun to speak more clearly
through the use of a syllabic visual, to which the
tutor points as Jaylen speaks.
o Weaknesses:
• This student has very few sight words in his
repertoire.
• The student’s confidence hinders his ability to ask
for help or admit he is unable to do it.
• Jaylen is not able to expressively comprehend what
he has just heard.

Instructional Strategies:
o Work on sight word drills with the Pre-Primer sight
word list, as well as cloze activities with word
banks.
o Read simple BOB books and kindergarten level
books about sports that will not only increase his
motivation for reading but will also increase his
confidence.
o Use cloze exercises that practice using context to
fill in sentences with a word bank from which to
choose.
