It is important that teachers put students at ease before they begin to diagnose them. This would involve getting to know about what interest them the most. If they are comfortable and begin to trust you, the results of your diagnosis is likely to be reliable. Note how the teacher gets to know the child he about to perform a reading diagnostic test. Also note the value of using videos as a teaching tool for Reaidng Specialists.

This is indeed a first and necessary part of diagnosis. In addition to the point you made,it gives the diagnostician a bit of background information on the student.
ReplyDeleteThe test that was administered was word recognition and comprehension, but if the diagnostician was administering a test that included observation and family background, then he would have had rich data to enable him to write a detailed and informed report on the student.
Good video. My resource pool is growing with all the sharing.
