What does a Reading Miscue Inventory involve?

  1. A teacher assessing a student's math skills

  2. A survey of a student's vocabulary knowledge

  3. A teacher recording a child's reading behavior

  4. An external examination of reading comprehension

The correct answer is: A teacher recording a child's reading behavior

A Reading Miscue Inventory is a formative assessment tool designed to analyze and record a child's reading behavior during oral reading sessions. It involves a teacher observing and noting the student's reading errors or "miscues," which can include mispronunciations, omissions, substitutions, and other deviations from the text. By doing this, educators gain valuable insights into the student's reading strategies, processing abilities, and overall comprehension. This approach focuses heavily on understanding how students interact with text, which can inform instruction and help tailor strategies to improve their reading skills. The other options do not align with the purpose of a Reading Miscue Inventory; assessing math skills, surveying vocabulary knowledge, or conducting an external examination of reading comprehension do not provide the same tailored diagnostic insight into a student's reading behavior.
