Identification of Learning Problem

Target Audience
The primary audience is composed of male and female students. The students’ age

range is from 8 – 9 years old. The students are in the third grade.

Goal of my instruction
Students will be able to demonstrate their comprehension skills by creating a story map

from the story they read.

Problem
My school received the test results from Georgia Milestone. Even though this year my

county didn’t count the test but our school still used the data to guide teachers on what the

students need help in. The majority of the students received a low score in reading. Estimate of

85% of the students failed reading. After looking closely at the data the number one area the

students failed was comprehension. The school received a bad rating because of the test score.

So I would like to focus on what I can do to improve comprehension skills so that students will

be successful when they take the Georgia Milestone Assessment.

Needs Assessment
● Weekly reading passage with comprehension question.

● Weekly DI.B.E.L.S (progress monitoring tool that keeps track of students’ progress).

This tool also offers resources to the teacher to better assist the students’ needs and

resources for parents.

Learner Analysis

Include general characteristics of the target learners.

 PAGEof \*
Identification Learning Problem
MERGEFOR
MAT 1

The age range from 8 -9 years old. The percentage of students based on gender is 70

percent male and 30 percent female. The students attend school in an urban area. The school is a

Title 1 school. The majority of the students come from a low income base household with one

parent. Also, the access to the Internet is limited. At my school have the following nationality

80% African American, 5 % non-Hispanic; 3% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 7% Hispanic.

Include typical entry characteristics.

Students will have the basic reading skills: letter sounds, read from left to right, blending

words, fluency skills, context clues, and vocabulary skills. Students must enjoy reading different

genres.

Include typical academic information

Students will be given a pre reading comprehension test. After several weeks of teaching

the students reading comprehension skills the teacher will administer a post reading

comprehension skills test. The results from the post test will let the teacher know if the students

master the goal.

Include information relevant to social characteristics, cultural information, and disabilities

I want to focus on motivation and attitude toward reading. I want to start with an easy

passage for the students to read with easy questions to answer. This will build their confidence

and increase their motivation. As the lesson progress the reading passages and questions will get

harder.

I have students that come from different background so I will make sure to select bias-

free materials and alternative resources if needed. The teacher will do the following during the
 PAGEof \*
Identification Learning Problem
MERGEFOR
MAT 1

lesson: direct instruction, modeling, guided practice, independent practice, and small group

instruction. Teacher will get the students involve through conversation.

The students with disability will have the necessary accommodation when doing the

activity online. For example, if a student’s I.E.P requires that he has the materials read to him

and extra time to complete the assignment I would make sure the design meet his needs. Also, if

a student is blind the program will read the material and special keyboard to enter his answer.

Task Analysis

Type of task analysis

The type of task analysis that I will be using is the content analysis. After reading the different

types of task analysis the content analysis fits my instruction the best. My online instruction

includes information that will help learner be successful in reading.

Subject Matter Expert

The person who will serve as subject matter expert (SME) will be me (Jamie Harris). The reason

why I think I am qualified to serve as a SME is because I have four years of teaching experience

and I have an endorsement in reading.

Instructional Objectives

Cognitive Domain

● After viewing a video on how to analyze and answer comprehension questions, the

learner will be able to demonstrate their mastery of comprehension skills by practicing

answering questions from a passage.

● After watching the instructional video, students will read a story that is provided and

create a story map to demonstrate their comprehension skills.

Assessment

Background Information

Students will go online to take the assessment. There will be three different reading levels

of the same story online. For example, struggling readers will read the same story as the on

level readers except their words will be modified. After the students read the story they will

create a story map. The students must include the following in their story map: main idea,

setting, characters, summary (beginning, middle, end), and define three words from the story

that they didn’t understand and use the words in a sentence).

Task:

Students will read a nonfiction story that is provided. After reading the story students will create

a story map.

Differentiate Instruction
Students will receive a reading passage and story map based on their reading level. For

example, on level reading will have a passage with more words and their story map will only

have labels. The students who are on approaching reading level will receive a passage with fewer

words than the on level readers. The approaching level readers will have the same questions as

the on level readers but it will just be worded differently. Also, the story map will have the

definition for each label. For example, on the story map will have the word setting and states that

“setting mean where the story takes place”. In addition, students who have an I.E.P that requires

for the passage and questions to be to read to them will receive a recording of someone reading

the passage, question, and story map or someone will read it to them.

Formative Evaluation Plan

The subject matter expert who will be able to serve as an expert reviewer for the

instruction that I develop is an I.S.F (instructional site facilitator). The SME has over 10

years of teaching experience. This person also has a reading certificate which means that this

person knows what reading strategies will be effective for different students.
