Chalk Talk: Reading Substitution Errors

When assessing students’ reading—particularly when using the Direct Reading Assessment (DRA)—teachers are often tasked with keeping a running record of not only the errors students make while reading aloud but the types of errors. These reading errors are called miscues, and one such type is a substitution error. The process of identifying the errors and keeping a running record is called miscue analysis. A substitution miscue occurs when a student does not know a word in a passage and substitutes it with a different word; the word that is substituted may or may not make sense in the context of the passage. It is important for teachers to note whether or not students substitute words that are logical within the text; if the student uses a word that does make sense, this shows that he/she comprehends the reading. An example of such a type of substitution is as follows: “Andy loved the sweet scent of chocolate chip cookies/Andy loved the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies.” However, if the substituted word is out of context, the teacher must first work with the student on understanding the meaning of the text before focusing on the accuracy of the word.
