Lesson # _1____

Student’s Name: P.T.

Grade: 7 Age: 12

Objective: Investigate students’ interests and assess students’ reading abilities by administering

the QRI-5.

Rationale: Student will provide written information regarding his or her interests in order to

drive future instruction. The interest survey will ensure materials will be engaging. Therefore,

those materials will create a sound foundation to move forward with the student. In addition, the

QRI-5 will be administered to assess the student’s reading abilities, and it will help me to bring

in reading material in which he or she will feel comfortable reading both independently, and with

some scaffolding.

Materials: QRI-5, 3 page interest survey, letter-writing prompt in which student describes who

they are, etc.

Procedure:
