Miscue Analysis Response

From reading the Goodman article, I have realized that miscue analysis is a very important tool in understanding the way that readers think. It is pointed out that it is not the quantity of the miscues that matters but the quality of them. I think that this is a really important point to take away. I could make a lot of mistakes while reading, but if they are mistakes that do not take away from the content of the text then they are quality miscues. The quality of the miscue says a lot about the reader. The ability to summarize and answer questions at the end also tells a lot about the reader. It is important for teachers to perform miscue analysis tests so that they can better understand their students and their reading ability. It was helpful to go back and read this article because it helped me to better understand how to perform a miscue analysis and how to analyze one. These are both important skills to have as a general education teacher. I really loved that it had the short hand modeled and explained. That part was really helpful and it is definitely something I will reflect back on when I am starting my first year of teaching.
