Preliminary Lesson Description

• Types of learner
  • This lesson involves several types of learning. The learner should be able to state reasons for giving the TPRI and intervention activities to assist students in progressing, which is verbal learning. There are several exercises for learners to participate in generating solutions for types of activities, possible outcomes (in diagnostic decision making, case studies and rate the tester) and generate a plan for increasing reading accuracy, all of which are problem solving. In order to properly administer the TPRI and be able to score students, learners must follow the administrative guidelines and apply them, which is rule learning.
• Instructional methodology
  • The module will include four methodologies. Reading comprehension is a drill and practice. The TPRI quiz is a test for assessment requiring learners to properly answer each question before proceeding to the next question. Several of the sections include simulations to place the learner in the position of tester, with "audio and video students" rather than real students. Most of the lesson is tutorial in nature providing a presentation of information that is tested or practiced in the other three methodologies
• Procedures and associated skills necessary for success in the lesson
  • Learners must be able to read in English and perform simple computer tasks such as pointing and clicking with a mouse, trackball or drawing tablet. Skills such as playing or replaying of the audio, playing and rewinding of video, having subsequent information appear on the screen once an action will all be simplified to pointing and clicking/sliding tasks.
  • Since some learners may not know how to load the program or may not have Netscape Navigator on their computer, the program will self load via an included copy of Netscape Navigator with an autorun program
• Instructional Factors Related to Methodology and Preliminary Lesson
  • Overall Objective: Teachers will be able to properly administer the Texas Primary Reading Inventory and subsequently set reading objectives for students.
  • Sequence of Learning
    • Introduction: Teachers will learn the basics of the TPRI.
      • Defining TPRI, listing its components, and defining related terms
    • Guidelines: Teachers will learn information to properly administer the TPRI including common errors in administration and how to avoid these errors
      • Guidelines for Administration - a list of all the guidelines for properly administering TPRI, plus an animated gif running through the most important ones
    • Listen: Teachers will understand proper pronunciation of phonemic awareness tasks
      • Listen to the TPRI - audio segments of phonemic awareness task sounded out by an expert.
    • Practice: Teachers will role play administering reading comprehension task with taped audio. Teachers role play marking errors on score sheet and marking child's level of reading expertise on that task.
      • Practice Reading Comprehension - audio segments of child reading required passage, but making reading errors. Teacher is to listen, find errors and mark them, as they would on the TPRI. Finally, child is scored according to mistakes and teacher can check to determine if he heard all the mistakes by comparing his list of errors to the one displayed on "answer page"
    • Testing Knowledge - Teachers will show competence in understanding of TPRI skills and components, and administration rules.
      • 15 question TPRI Quiz - questions pertaining to the TPRI in multiple choice form. Each question must be answered correctly to get to next question. After questions 5, 10 and 15, place an animated "you're doing great" gif. Last screen should be a "certificate of completion of the TPRI Quiz."
      • Rate the Tester Game - video played of teachers administering TPRI. Viewer is to find which errors teacher made from multiple choice list. More than one answer may be correct.
    • Decision Making - Teachers will understand correlation of score to Intervention Activities
      • Overview of Process in Model - Model page would provide roll-overs to identify 4 stages in diagnosing problems and strategies.
      • Examples shown of correlation in Case Studies - Case Studies should include background of child, first name, age, TPRI scores, and suggestions for proceeding
      • Process walk-through in Diagnostic Decision Making - Teacher may need assistance in making diagnostic decisions, so forms of skills child should work on and questions teacher can answer to lead them to which Intervention Activities would help child. This can be done with simple hyperlinked web pages and well thought out questions.
      • Activities to choose from in Intervention Activities Guide. The Activities Guide should provide teachers with a list of several activities to "play" with children for each TPRI task and should be clearly divided per task (Phonemic, Graphophonemic, Listening and Reading Comprehension).
