Characteristics of IPA

• Curriculum-based measures.
• Easy to create, administer, score, and interpret.
• Require students to produce a response so that
  educator observes rather than infers what the
  problems are.
• Useful for assessing individual students,
  consulting with teachers, or conducting
  inservices for teachers.

4
Characteristics of IPA (cont.)

• Both correct and error responses are recorded to
  provide information for diagnosis and
  intervention.
• Sensitive to change, even over short periods of
  time.
• Use multiple forms to ensure that you are
  assessing learning and not memorization.
• Use standardized administration to reduce
  systematic error in administration.

Phonemic Awareness Intervention

• Analyze student performance in relation to the
  normative data
• Determine if the individual is discrepant from
  the norms. Are reading skills in a normal
  range?
• If NO, analyze individual performance.
• Determine what skills need to be taught and
  prioritize the order.
• Design and deliver instruction.

Beginning Word Reading

• Guidelines for word lists (discrimination and
  practice)
• 8-10 words (initially 2 - 4 words)
• Usually 5-7 minutes of reading
• Unpredictable word order
• No pattern
• 30 - 50 of words contain new skill
• Alter position of word types and use of letters.
