Case Study
I. Introduction
Jane is a ten-year-old fifth grade student in Mrs. Vincy’s classroom. She
attends Kingwood Township Elementary School in Frenchtown, New Jersey. She
lives at home with her parents and younger brother. Her mother is a stay at home
mom, and her father is a businessman. He is not home very often. Jane has her room,
however, there is not a television in it. She does not watch very much TV, but her
favorite shows include, iClary and Hannah Montana. Jane prefers to spend her free
time playing guitar. She has a lesson once a week, and wishes that guitar lessons were
offered in her school along with all of the other music lessons. The student does not
have a set bedtime, however, on a school night she usually goes to bed around 9:00.
She told me that she likes to read every night before she goes to bed, so sometimes
she stays up later because she does not want to stop reading. She has a few books at
home. These include the ones that she has already read. Many of the books the
student reads, she checks out of the school library. Overall, this student enjoys
reading, and this has been very beneficial.
Jane reported that she really enjoys school. Her favorite subject is reading, and
her least favorite it history. She enjoys reading very much, and reads many books.
Since she reads so often, Jane considers herself to be a good reader. All the different
books that she reads make her a better reader. Interesting books make her want to
continue to read, and this improves her reading abilities. Jane will usually read
science fiction books, or books that are about the future. For example, she is currently

reading Catching Fire. If she could select a book on any topic is would be a science
fiction book. Jane also enjoys writing. In her class they write many stories, and her
favorite writing assignment is when her teacher assigns the class to write a fiction
story. She has a very wild imagination, and her stories are very interesting to read.
She is a very good writer overall. If she went to a new school, she would want the
teachers to know that she enjoys reading and writing stories. She knows how
important reading is for her future. People read everyday, and it’s a very important
part of life. Knowing how to read, and read well, will be very helpful to her future.
II. Running Record
On March 25, 2012, Jane was asked to read aloud from the novel, Catching
Fire. At this time a running record of her oral reading and miscues was recorded and
a brief comprehension check was taken. In terms of comprehension the student was
able to retell what she had just read. She understood the reading, and successfully
recapped important details from the text when asked to do so. In terms of word
recognition, Jane was able to read almost all of the words in the text without any
difficulty. There were a few words that she self corrected after she miscued. Also,
when she skipped over a word, she would go back and read it, another form of self-
correction. There were very few, if any, words that the student did not recognize. Jane
read the passage from the novel with fluency. Her inflection as she was reading was
good, as she paused at the end of sentences and after commas. Jane was able to read
the passage with very little difficulty.
