Assignment #1 Case Study

Johnny, an 8-year-old student in your 3rd grade classroom seems to be having trouble completing the weekly reading worksheets. You also noticed that he has difficulty when asked to read out loud as part of the reading group. He is able to identify the letters of the alphabet but seems to have trouble identifying words while reading. During class activities, he seldom raises his hand to volunteer to read during “current events” time. His grade on the spelling tests each week are getting lower and lower, and you feel this is in part to the specific spelling words becoming more difficult.

You discussed this with his mom, and she informed you that he really does not like complete homework that involves a lot of reading. She also mentioned that he had a vision screening 2 months ago, and his vision was reported to be in the normal range.

You asked his mom if you could have the RtI coordinator assess Johnny on the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA) and she agreed. You informed her that this was only a screening evaluation and would not have any impact on his classroom placement at this time. The RtI coordinator completed the assessment and the results of the KTEA are as follows:

Based on the above scores, determine Johnny’s specific areas of strength and weakness. What does the Standard Score indicate for each area? What does the Age-Equivalent score indicate for each area? What does the Grade-Equivalent score indicate for each area? What does the Percentile Rank score indicate for each area?

Develop 2 specific classroom activities including Smart Goals that can be implemented to address each area you identified as an area of weakness. What steps will you take to monitor progress?

Develop 2 specific home activities that can be implemented to address each area you identified as an area of weakness. How will you work collaboratively with Johnny’s Mom/Dad to track progress in the home? Write a detailed summary of the test results that you will provide to Johnny’s mom so that she will understand in layman’s terms what the assessment indicates.
