I. INTRODUCTION

A. This paper sought to find out the reading ability of the learner, in order to

determine his/her difficulties in reading level through this paper. This will test

the learner’s ability in reading comprehension, how to recognize and how to

pronounce. This way to find correctly and how to pronounce the words of the

correct pronunciation.

B. The name of my correspondent is Jeneth Suarez. Jeneth is 11 years old.

She was studying at Andagaw Elementary School at in coming Grade 5 pupil.

Her parents are Mr. Gigi Suarez and Mrs. Jida Suarez a lovable parents. She

likes playing, dancing, watchingTV, and drawing, sometimes she likes also to

read a story like the Cinderella.

II. METHOD(S)

In this paper, the reading diagnosis use this following:

A. The Slosson Oral reading Test (SORT). This is given to be individually and

is based on the ability to pronounce words at different levels of difficulty. In

this reading as a quick estimate to get target word recognitionlevels for

children and adults.

B. San Diego Quick Assessment. This assessment is a list of words

categorized by grade level. This assessment also the graded words list has

two uses. (1) to determine a reading level and (2) to defect errors in word

analysis. San Diego Quick Assessment provides a fairly accurate estimate of

a child’s ability to read grade-level materials.

C. Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) in this test is an achievement test

which to measures an individual’s ability to read words. If the child can

identify the words correctly according to his abilities.

III. PROBLEM(S)OBSERVED

A. In the Slosson Oral Reading Test. As what I observed, these are some of

the words cushion, gracious, fragrant, profitable and obedient which the

respondent cannot recognize.

In general, the learner can read well, can recognize as well as can

pronounce words correctly except those words that she cannot pronounce

well.

B. San Diego Quick Assessment. This is an assessment which is a

recognition test to find out leaner’s mispronounced words. As I observed my

respondent, she had reading difficulties in this assessment. In every level of

this assessment that she cannot recognize well the words according in this

San Diego Quick Assessment. The words that she cannot pronounce are,

apparatus, impetuous, intrigue, conscientious, gratuitous, prevaricate and

crunch. But she cannot pronounce the other levels in this assessment.

C. The Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) is designed to measure the

comprehension and the reading ability of the learner. This test is appropriate

for individual.

Based on my observation, in this test the learner has a talent in reading but

she needs more exercise in reading comprehension skills for the better

improvement. These are the following words that she cannot pronounce

correctly in this test, like the(rescinded, rudimentary, discretionary, audacious,

idiosyncrasy and pseudonym).I noticed that this learner cannot pronounce the

word that has the letter “R”.

IV. ANALYS(E)S

A. Slosson Oral Reading Test.

Aswhat I observed, the reason why a child cannot recognize the other words

in test is that she lacked listening skills. She needs more improvement in

Slosson Oral Reading Test to success or to improve her reading difficulties.

B. San Diego Quick Assessment.

Maybe the reason the child has reading difficulty in this assessment, is that

her teacher did not engage or motivate him mostly in reading like reading a

story, reading the alphabet and etc. In general she needs more improvement

in reading comprehension skills and self-understanding.

C. Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT).

In this WRAT, I think the possible reason why a childcannotpronouncesthose

words according in this test because those are new words for her that she

never encountered it before. In a best way if the child encountered this

situation the teacher or parents must motivate or teach the child to more

improve their reading skills.
