Oral Reading Guide for Marking
Below is an overview
of how oral reading will be evaluated in Grade Two. It may come in handy when
listening to your child read out loud at home. Listen and stress one or two
areas at a time to work on with your child and celebrate the successes they
have along the way. Happy reading!
Oral Reading Evaluation Scheme
When reading orally,
I generally listen for the following characteristics to be present when a
student reads:
1)
Smoothness: reading by good phrasing rather than reading word by word; there
should be no pauses unless called for by punctuation or context
2)
Alertness to punctuation: stopping at periods, pausing at commas, and raising
voice at question marks
3)
Volume: reading loudly enough to be heard clearly at the back of the room;
holding the book correctly and keeping the head up help the volume to improve
4)
Enunciation: saying the words clearly, not mumbling; some will need to slow
down in order to accomplish this
5)
Speed: reading at a speed that enables the reader to be accurate, smooth, and
expressive
6)
Accuracy: pronouncing words and reading sentences correctly
7)
Poise: having confidence in reading and speaking before others
8)
Expression: having good voice inflection to make the story interesting and
realistic
