Part A: English
The Gulls reading group is comprised of four year 3 male students. The following reading assessments
were administered to all four students:
A phonemic awareness assessment (Gough-Kastler-Roper)
Alphabet names and sounds
Bryant (non words)
Burt Word Reading
Running Record information was collected by teacher
Contextual note:
The teacher collected running record information and provided me with students levels. Unfortunately it
was difficult to collect any additional comprehension information, therefore I have used this information to
select books. I am however aware that some of my data indicates that some students may be above these
levels and the books selected may be too easy.

Notes:
Tyler had difficulty with the Alphabet sounds exercise, he had his head very close (510cms) to the piece of paper. He mumbled and did not clearly articulate each letter,
even after instructions to say the word nice and clearly so I can hear them. A lot of
the letters sounded like /i/. I have also observed during writing time that he puts his
head very close to the piece of paper on his desk, possible indicators of vision
issues.
