Analysis of Reading Attitude Survey with my tutee
I gave my fifth grader an elementary reading attitude survey and was interested by his results. His Raw score for recreational reading was a 20 and his raw score for academic reading was 23. Usually you think of students preferring their own reading but this wasn't the case with my tutee. He falls in the 15th percentile for his overral score. He's in the 6th percentile for recreational reading and the 29th percentile for academic reading. I will be honest this didn't really surprise me all that much. The student I have chosen to tutor is more on the social side of most of my students. He much more enjoys the computer, sports, and math more than he enjoys reading. Across the board he put mildly upset for many questions. He never gave me a happiest garfiled toward reading. The ones he scored lowest were when asked how he felt about getting a book as a present, reading during the summer, reading instead of playing, and using a dictionary. This amused me but I can see why a dictionary can be very frustrating for kids. Especially since this child is an English Language Learner they have a hard time with spelling so dictionaries are very difficult for them to use. The other areas he scored a 1 on were areas of where he is in his element and the last thing he would want to be doing is reading a book. My job during this time of tutoring my student is getting his interest level and attitude of reading much higher. He says he enjoys when he gets to read different books and reading them aloud. I can take this and run with it for my tutoring sessions!
