RICA Subtest 3 - Case Study (Felicia)
Graded A
Felicia strengths (4th grade)
1. reading
2. like reading fiction
3. literal comprehension
Felicia weakness (4th grade)
1. inferential comprehension
2. skipped portions of text not understood
3. does not do well with content reading (expository)
4. does not go back to re-read text to develop understanding or comprehension
5. reads slowly - fluency issue
6. multi syllabic words
Felicia needs (grade)
1. inferential comprehension
2. fluency rate
3. multi-syllabic words
Fluency Rate
Number of words read per minute
fluency accuracy
Read words correctly.
-Understand phonic patters/spelling/ syllabication
Fluency - Prosody
Students read with expression
-Understand what they are reading so they can be expressive. (?,!)
inferential comprehension stratgies
1. activity where students make an observation / possible inference - whole class activity / small
group
2. use anchor chart to organize student predictions / drawing conclusion
3. do a picture walk before reading / make predictions
4. have students do fill in blank activity where they fill in the conclusions, predictions, into
sentence frames
5. draw conclusion graphic organizer (think SPIRE)
Fluency Strategies
1. Use texts at independent level
2. Use repeated reading
3. Review targeted phonics instruction (SPIRE)
4. review targeted sight word instruction
5. Choral reading
6. Whisper reading
7. echo reading
multi-syllabic stratgies
1. Teach multisyllabic words that follow common
syllable patterns - teach vowel patterns
2. syllable division between VC / CV (each division has a vowel as long as vowel has sound - lat
/ er; silent e is NOT divided)
3. teach closed / open syllables
4. teach that two vowels next to each other stay together
5. structural analysis - Teach affixes (den / tist)
6. Elokin boxes
(Think of SPIRE word building activity and underling the vowels and understanding the vowel
in a word)
Choral Reading
two or more individuals reading aloud from the same text in unison to enhance oral reading
fluency.
Whisper Reading
all students whisper read the text independently. The teacher listens to the students read
individually in order-- to provide support and feedback.
Echo Reading
Reading of a text where an adult or experienced reader reads a line of text, and the student
repeats the line. Good technique for Emergent and Early Readers to build fluency and
expression.

Elokin boxes
think SPIRE the big white board with green and white circles - helps with segmentation multisyllabic words
Vowel patterns
Closed (generally short vowels), open (generally long vowels), silent e, vowel digraph,
diphthong, r-controlled, C+le
Closed Vowel Pattern
a word or syllable that contains only one vowel and is followed by one or more consonants.
Jingle: One lonely vowel squished in the middle, says it's short sound just a little. Examples: cat,
fish, bunch, up, blast, crash, thump
Open syllable
Syllable which ends in a vowel sound rather than a consonant
closed syllable
ends in a consonant
short vowels
Vowels you hear in the middle of a word; usually follow the VCV pattern
long vowel
say their name
silent e
When a short word ends with an "e", the first vowel usually has the long sound and the final "e"
is silent.
vowel digraph or vowel pair
when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking. (vowel teams)
r-controlled vowels
Vowels that change their sound when followed by the letter R (Examples: car, her, sir, for, fur)
Inferential Comprehension
understanding of information that isn't explicitly given, but rather implied in a written passage.
(make predictions)
Picture Walk
A pre-reading strategy: an examination of the text looking at pictures to gain an understanding of
the story and to illicit story related language in advance
