    This oral language assessment evaluates a second grade student's communication skills in the classroom. The assessment observes the student's ability to share stories, retell events, explain tasks, and take leadership roles. It also notes that the student struggles with problem solving, works better in smaller groups or one-on-one, and is behind other students in writing and other academic areas. The assessment concludes that the student likely has a learning disability and recommends testing, additional support like a personal aid, and placement in a smaller resource room setting.

    Brittanie Vangeli Oral Language Assessment March 5,2013 Since the ability to communicate orally is relevant to many tasks

    that are performed in school and outside of the school, it is important that the student masters this skill. The purpose of this oral language assessment is to assess how the student is communicating in the classroom. The development of language is critical for students to establish strong literacy skills. This assessment will show how well the student can effectively communicate. This assessment will also determine if the student can share stories, retell events, explain how to do something, create an imaginative world, can plan events, and take leadership etc. While oral assessment is the most commonly used form of assessment, the assessor must ensure that there is a methodology for using this assessment tool. For this assessment I will be using the forms Oral Language Function: Classroom Observation and Oral Language Functions: Individual Observation. This assessment is an observation assessment of both the classroom and the individual student. The Classroom Observation form can be used in two different ways. The first being as a checklist to ensure that certain functions occur in the classroom. For example, that there is time set-aside for students to share stories with the class or a partner. Second this form could also be used as a tool to record the progress of a student or a group of students who may need more support. The Individual Observation form on the other hand is used to record your observations of an individual student. This form will help the teacher assess where the individual

    strengths and weakness are with regard to oral language. This form can also be used to communicate with parents on how the student is performing. I am currently participating in a second grade classroom at Wicoff Elementary. My student is a friendly, active second grader. She is polite, respectful and shows a willingness to do her work. However, she has been struggling in the classroom. I have observed that she is shy and has trouble taking the lead. For example, Ms. Refsin is currently engaging the students with problem solving activities and it is clear through my observation that she is lacking the skills to solve these problems. Compared to the other students in her class, she appears to be behind in mastering the skills that the other students are having no problem becoming proficient in. In a science lesson they were making a ramp for a marble to roll down. The students were arranged in groups of two and had to figure out how to create the ramp. My student just sat to the side and played around with the marble while the other student was actively engaged in the activity. It should be also noted that this student is currently in the process of being tested for a learning disability. Through my observation I am confident that these test will reveal that she has some type of learning disability that is holding her back from reaching her full academic potential. If possible, I think that a personal aid for this student would be ideal. I observed in writers workshop that she has to be worked with one on one. If not worked with one on one, then she often times achieves nothing during the writing time and falls behind. She constantly needs someone with her so she can keep up with the other second graders. In addition, I also think that this student is better

    taught in a smaller group. From my observations I have noticed that she works better in a smaller group or one on one because she can get more of the teachers attention. In writers workshop she is two workshop stories behind the other students. It will also be helpful for her to work at a slower pace because now she is using recess time to catch up. In my opinion, I do think that this student will be much better off in a resource room. I believe that if she was tested and classified then the resource room will accommodate her needs much better. She will be able to have more time on projects and work at a slower speed. Most importantly, she can have that one on one instruction she needs. All in all, I have learned a lot about this student through this assessment. Through this assessment I was able to figure out the childs needs and weaknesses. I was able to evaluate what the child needs in the future.
