Question

Describe considerations for directly assessing students’ oral language and phonemic awareness skills. How can you use performance data to identify students who are demonstrating below level literacy skills? Support your response with research.

Answer 1

Answer:

For assessing student's oral language and phonemic awareness skills, we must consider some factors that affect the students in one way or the other. These factors make them spell or hear words differently than us and it is quite common. The place the student previously lived, the origin country of the student, mother tongue, the school that student previously studied etc must be taken into consideration.

These factors will make that student spell words differently as he is from other region or his mother tongue is not English. So these considerations are very important while assessing these skills.
