| dc.description.abstract | The recommended strategies for the teaching of Oral Reading and Comprehension document in primary schools has been produced to provide support for teachers and parents to build concepts and skills in children, to mitigate learning loss due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. Primary Assessments were conducted with students of Infant Two to Standard Four. The following is a brief description of the assessments. Infant Two: There were three assessments at this level. Assessment A focused on students’ ability to read words and sentences. Based on students’ performance on Assessment A, teachers were directed to conduct additional assessments to determine students’ areas of weaknesses. Assessment B (blending and segmenting sounds) was conducted with students who performed at Levels I and II on Assessment A. Assessment C (letter sound and letter name identification) was conducted with students who performed at Levels I and II on Assessment B. Standards One to Four: The assessments at this level included the Reading Comprehension and the Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) assessment. Based on students’ performance on the Oral Reading Fluency assessment, teachers were directed to conduct additional assessments to determine students’ areas of weaknesses. The additional tests were the Infant Two Assessment (conducted with Levels I and II students in Standards One and Two), and the Informal Phonics Inventory and the Sight Word Recognition Tests (conducted with Levels I and II students in Standards Three and Four). The recommendations provided in the document are presented according to class (Infant Two to Standard Four). Students have been placed in performance levels based on the analysis of scores in the Reading Comprehension and Oral Reading assessments. | |
