Week three Post Two

I just finished interviewing my miscue analysis student and I'm not sure if I got the responses I was supposed out of the student. Many of the questions on how the student reads or where he/ she learned to read encouraged nothing more than a stare from my student. He clearly has reading problems, but he doesn't seem particularly concerned about them. Far worse than that is that he has done almost no reading in his class thus far because the students are preparing for ISTEP. Maybe that's a huge problem in his reading skill level. He couldn't answer how the other students in the class read because he has never heard any of the read. The class is taken up by mostly grammar exercises, which are not reading. It is difficult to get a middle school boy to critically analyze his own reading style/skill/habits. From my observations so far, they are far more concerned with other things. So it seems I will most likely have to gain my own insight from the observations and not as much the questions. I think I will try the graphic novels on this student, he already mentioned reading a few Marvel comics over the years. I intend to question him both about the images and the reading material and the relationship between the two.
