Examine polysyllabic errors to see if any are “legitimate” pronunciations, such as mom-ent for “moment.” In order to be legitimate, all letters in the two versions have to match or line up.

Interpretation and Instructional Implications

Row totals below 80% correct suggest a possible problem [less than 8/10 for (a) and 4/5 for (b)-(l).]  Highlight each category with scores below 80%.
The skill represented on the first row that fell below 80% should be the start for instruction.
Examine polysyllabic errors to see if any are “legitimate” pronunciations, such as mom-ent for “moment.” In order to be legitimate, all letters in the two versions have to match or line up.  Students may mispronounce polysyllabic words because they have never heard of them before.  Students with many legitimate polysyllabic word reading errors need vocabulary development rather than more decoding instruction.
