Reading Miscues

Miscue analysis procedures are becoming increasingly popular for both research and evaluation purposes. Although there are no normative data available to guide the interpretation of a reader's oral reading miscues, there are a number of studies which may be used for this purpose. However the evidence also suggests that miscue patterns are subject to considerable variation as a function of a complex interaction among several factors including instructional method, the reader's background, skills, and purpose for reading, and the nature and content of the written material. The information reported to date suggests that both the assumptions underlying miscue analysis and the procedures used to analyze miscues require additional rigorous empirical explication and validation.

Reading Miscues

This study explored the value of an objective procedure to evaluate the relative effectiveness of reading large print and reading regular print with low vision devices for six students with low vision. Data on observable reading behaviors—oral and silent reading rates, working distance, and oral reading miscues—were collected and analyzed using a case-study approach. The procedure provided useful information for consideration by multidisciplinary teams.

This paper reports on the oral reading of five grade 2 to 6 isiXhosa (L1) speakers reading isiXhosa (L1) and English (L2) texts. It examines the readers’ oral reading miscues (or errors) to understand the extent to which these miscues constitute a language or a literacy problem in this group of readers. Conclusions are that (a) these readers read better in isiXhosa than in English; (b) they are not reading as well as they could be reading in isiXhosa; (c) isiXhosa reading difficulties appear to be related to poor teaching of literacy; (d) while English reading difficulties appear to be related to both poor teaching of literacy and to low levels of language proficiency in English, this is related to classroom practices but is also independent of it.

Below Average Readers

The use of graphic and contextual information by average and below-average readers was inferred by examining their oral reading miscues. It was hypothesized that inconsistent findings of previous studies comparing children of differing reading abilities were due to unequal miscue rates between the groups. The present study equated miscue rate of average and below-average readers and examined the effects of different miscue rates on the use of graphic and contextual information. Forty second-grade average readers and forty below-average readers in third to sixth grades read two selections of second grade readability. Three levels of miscues per hundred words which span the functional reading levels were examined: 1–5, 6–10, and 11–15. The results show that miscue rate effects the use of contextual information: miscues which are not syntactically correct increase as miscue rate increases, and miscues which are syntactically correct but change the author's meaning decrease as miscue rate increases. Below-average readers made proportionally more miscues which changed the author's meaning and showed greater dependence on graphic cues; a dependence which was unsuccessful in decoding unknown words. Average readers made proportionally more miscues which made no changes in the author's meaning. Instructional implications were discussed.

Reading Miscues

It has been suggested that children who have trouble learning to read may use less effective decoding strategies than children who learn to read typically. The present investigation examined reading miscues (errors) made by typically developing children and children who demonstrated below-average language and reading abilities to answer the following questions: (a) Do typically developing children and children with below-average language and reading skills evidence similar types of miscues while reading aloud? (b) Do typically developing children make more grapho-phonemically similar errors (in which the error resembles the text word in two or more phonemes) and more nonsense-word errors than children with below-average language and reading ability and, (c) What is the relationship between the nature of reading miscues and comprehension performance? Results suggested that typically developing children made more miscues that preserved the meaning of the text than children with below-average language and reading abilities. Groups were equally likely to make errors that were grapho-phonemically similar and/or nonsense words. Comprehension performance for both groups was best predicted by omission of content words and phonologically similar real-word errors that maintained the meaning of the text. Analysis of oral-reading errors may be useful in prescribing specific intervention to improve automaticity and efficiency in reading for children with language-learning disorders.
