Overall Summary
This table tracks the performance of eight students across two stories, assessing three distinct levels of reading comprehension: Right There (literal), Think & Search (inferential), and Author & Me (schema-based inference). Overall, the group demonstrates a strong foundation in literal comprehension, with more variability and challenge appearing in the higher-order thinking skills.
Group Strengths
The students show a clear strength in "Right There" questions.
High Performance: Six out of the eight students (Ame, Del, Sio, Cas, Sad, Ang) achieved a perfect score of 4/4 in this category.
Interpretation: This indicates that the group as a whole is highly proficient at locating and recalling information that is explicitly stated in a text.
Areas for Development
The primary areas for growth are in the more complex comprehension categories.
Think & Search: While still a strong area, there is room for improvement. Half of the students (Sio, Cas, Joa, Ang) missed one question in this category. This suggests a need to practice synthesizing and connecting information from different parts of a text.
Author & Me: This category, which requires students to use their own background knowledge along with the text, shows the most significant need for attention. The scores vary more here than in other sections, indicating that making inferences by connecting the text to personal experience is the most challenging skill for this group.
Key Observations & Data Inconsistency
Important Note: There appears to be a data entry error in the table for student Gra in the "Author & Me" category. The scores for Story 1 (3) and Story 2 (2) should total 5, but the listed total is 1. This evaluation proceeds assuming the total should be 5, but this should be verified.
Student Performance Highlights:
Consistent High Performers: Ame, Del, and Sad demonstrated excellent comprehension across all three categories, achieving perfect or near-perfect scores. Cas and Joa also showed very strong results.
Needs Targeted Support:
Gra: Shows a significant discrepancy. If the total of '1' is accurate, this student needs immediate, intensive support in "Author & Me" questioning. If it's an error and the score is 5, their profile is much stronger, though still slightly weaker than peers in the "Right There" category.
Sio and Ang: These students performed well on the most complex "Author & Me" questions but missed a point in the "Think & Search" category. They may benefit from strategies focused on tracking and connecting details within a text.
Recommendations
Focus on Higher-Order Thinking: Dedicate instructional time to "Author & Me" and "Think & Search" question types. Model how to find textual clues and combine them with prior knowledge to draw conclusions.
Small-Group Instruction: Form a small group with Sio, Cas, Joa, and Ang to specifically practice "Think & Search" skills.
Verify Data: Double-check the scores for Gra to determine their actual level of need. A plan for intervention can be created once the correct score is known.
