What is a mistak e a nd w hat is not: As you listen to c hildren rea d, you ma y hea r the fo llow ing. Here a re

exam ples from Hind i :

• “ ata ” is read a s “ ate y” or “c hahta ” is rea d as “ cha htey” or “ha i” is rea d as “ tha” etc . Therema y be variations in children’s read ing due to loc al p ronunc iation o r usag e. Do not consider

this a mistake .

• a w ord is rep laced with another word of the same mea ning w hile read ing. For exam ple: thetext says “ ba rsaa t ka ma usam” but the child reads it a s “ ba rsaa t ka sama y”. Do not consider

this a mistake .

Usua lly if a c hild is told to read ag ain c arefully, she w ill rea d ag ain a nd in most situations will

not rep ea t these mista kes.

At times children ma y read the wo rd w rong – such a s “ neend ” is read a s “ nad i” or “m aja” isread as “jama ” . It is also the c ase that som etimes a c hild skips a w ord. Here to o, if a c hild istold to read ag ain ca refully – either she rea ds c orrec tly or she c ontinues to m ake the sam e

mistake.

If in spite o f read ing the same t ext seve ral times, the c hild is repe at ed ly read ing a w ord w rongor not rea ding it at a ll, then these have to b e treated a s “ mistakes” and mea ns the child is

having d ifficulty in rea ding tha t level.

If the c hild rea ds sam e wo rd incorrec tly more than o nc e, it will be c onsidered as ONLY ONEMISTAKE.

In a p arag rap h, if a c hild makes more than 3 mistake s of this type the n she c annot bec onside red a ‘ Parag raph Level’ c hild. Similarly in the read ing of a story.
