Presents examples of miscues that show how various schemata or scripts that a reader may transport to the act of reading interact with those of an author. (Author/GT)

Offers suggestions for implementing psycholinguistic methods in the classroom. (MKM)

Discusses applications of recent work in psycholinguistics in classrooms and in teacher education. (AA)

The authors present a technique for analyzing oral reading miscues which has been used successfully with handicapped students. (Author)

The miscues of 22 blind braille readers ages 6-21 were analyzed using Goodman's Reading Miscue Inventory, and compared to those reported for sighted readers. Results revealed greater similarities than differences. For example, print and braille readers had approximately the same proportion of miscues in substitutions, omissions, and insertions.…

Discusses the Miscue Reading Inventory and offers an alternative system that keeps its strengths and completeness while eliminating most of its weak points. (FL)

A series of field tests run over a 2 year period assessed the ability of 125 special education and regular teachers (5 inservice and 1 preservice group) to detect and accurately describe basic attributes of reading miscues before and after training using the Hypothesis/Test Reading Modules. A surprising outcome was the virtual lack of spontaneous…

This paper on the nature of instruction as it has been informed by instructional research is organized into two major sections. The background section describes the origin and evolution of the research that has been conducted into teacher response toward reading miscues, while the second section relates this research to other classroom research…

Presents evidence from oral reading miscue research to support a psycholinguistic view of why omissions take place and how they reflect the reading process. Classifies word level omissions as deliberate and nondeliberate. (MKM)

Incorporates recent conceptualizations of the reading process and implements an alternative assessment with hearing-impaired students. Presents the authors' work as educational evaluators in examining the use of techniques with Deaf students and reports the adaptations required for this population. Concludes that educators of the Deaf can benefit…

Analyzes possible reasons for decoding errors. (MKM)

Describes the usefulness of a cloze test given after an initial oral reading of the same passage. (MKM)

The Informal Reading Inventory and the Reading Miscue Inventory are compared as to purpose, origins, and methods of use. A tabular format, elaborated by an appended discussion, summarizes each inventory's purpose, materials, length, difficulty of selections, procedures in testing, types of behaviors evaluated, and resulting scores. (AA)

A study compared the word recognition errors of learning disabled readers using reading instructional level materials (word recognition rates between 3% and 9% and frustration level materials (word recognition rates greater than 9%). Subjects, eight learning disabled students chosen randomly from second, fifth, eighth, and eleventh grade levels,…

The oral reading miscues of three groups of ten children were qualitatively analyzed to determine whether disabled readers approach the reading process as do young normal readers who read at the same level or as average readers of their own chronlogical age. The groups included ten seventh graders and ten fourth graders who read at a fourth grade…
