l. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
This paper seeks to find out if what are the problems encountered by the
respondent in reading, the reasons, and the recommendations that can be given to the
respondent.
B. Respondent
The respondent is Jaylord M. Zonio, a grade 4 pupil. He is studying at Kalibo
Elementary School. His parents are George S. Zonio and Luzviminda M. Zonio. His
hobby is playing basketball.
ll. METHOD(S) USED
In this paper, the reading diagnostician used the San Diego Quick Assessment
(SDQA), Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT), and Wide Range Achievement Test
(WRAT).
A. San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA)
This test measures the recognition of words out of context. Generally, proficient
readers read as accurately both in and out of context. This test consists of 13 graded
word lists from preprimary to eleventh grade. The words within each list are of about
equal difficulty.


1

B. Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT)
It is designed to assess a subject's "level of oral word recognition, word calling or
reading level." This instrument is not a diagnostic measure nor does it measure all
aspects of reading such as word knowledge and comprehension. It is a "quick screening
test to determine a student's reading level."
C. Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT)
It is an achievement test which measures an individual's ability
to read words, comprehend sentences, spell, and compute solutions to math problems.
lll. PROBLEM(S) OBSERVED
A. San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA)
These are the words that the respondent cannot recognize tank, digger, night,
town, quietly, city, drew, wrecked, certainly. The respondent read the words reversely
like bigger for digger, night for might and quietly for quitly. He has poor word
recognition.
B. Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT)
These are the words that the respondent cannot pronounce harness, promptly,
serious, courage, vacant, appearance, speechless, slumber, dainty, smash, ocean,
timid, delicious, suddenly and heavy. The respondent missed to sound those words
2

accurately. He is confused with consonant sounds such as /s/ or /ch/. He has also
speech defects.
C. Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT)
The respondent points to words with fingers when he reads it. He also reads
word by word because he pauses long between certain words.
IV. ANALYS(E)S
A. San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA)
Maybe the reason why the respondent cannot recognize the words is that he has
poor word recognition. The material is too difficult for him. And lack of skills in word
recognition techniques and inadequate sight vocabulary.
B. Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT)
Maybe the reason why the respondent cannot pronounce the words correctly is
that he felt nervous the time that he reads the words. He has fear of reading and lack of
self-confidence. And maybe he has speech defects and lack of ability in sounding
properly the words.
C. Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT)
Maybe the reason why the respondent point the words with fingers and pause
long between certain words is that he has the inability to read in thought units or
phrases. He has limited reading vocabulary. Weak in the techniques of getting the
thought from connected materials. And he has poor training in reading the words.

V. RECOMMENDATION(S)
For the learner:
1. In San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA), the respondent should improve his
word-recognition techniques by using pictures, actions, context, and
configuration clues.
2. In Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT), the respondent should improve his self-
confidence by participating in recitation and reading activities
3. In Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), the respondent should practice
reading and train himself in reading the words.
For the learners teachers:
1. In San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA), the teacher should give plenty of
exercise in phonetic and structural analysis. And provide them a training to
increase perception span using materials of gradual difficulty.
2. In Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT), the teacher should praise learners for
successful effort done and give encouragement with general prodding. And the
teacher should help the learner to utilize a variety of clues, pictures, word
analysis with words previously encountered.
3. In Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), the teacher should give instructions
as to how to read effectively. And increase his familiarity with words through
meaningful exercise and use of visual aids to develop.
For the learners parents:
1. In San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA), the parents should encourage the child
to improve his self-confidence towards reading.
4

2. In Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT), the parents should send the child to
speech clinic for correction.
3. In Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), the parents should guide the child
and enrich him with sight vocabulary by means of short exposure exercises
combined with practiced in rapid reading.
