CLIENT REPORT ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Choose a school-aged client.
To complete the Client Report Assignment, select a client from grades 1-12. The client
should be able to read at least at first-grade reading level, answer questions orally about
the test, and retell the story.
You may select a student in your classroom, school, or community/church if you are not
in a school.
If no other options exist, you may select a family member or one of your own children
who has academic struggles. They must be school-aged.
Step 2: Fill out the first page of the Client Report: Reading Packet.
In the top portion of the page, fill in the examiner’s name (you) and the client’s FIRST
name, age, and grade.
Client Background: In paragraph form, describe the client’s academic background and
experience. Be thorough in your narrative description, and be sure to add if your client is
in general education or special education.
List of Assessments: The middle section of the page has a list of the assessments. You
will not complete anything in this section. It provides a list of assessments you will use to
collect data on the client.
Assessment Results & Recommendations: This section will be filled in AFTER you
complete the battery of tests/surveys. You will provide a narrative description of test
behavior and an explanation of test results on ALL the tests/surveys you gave to your
client. Be sure to summarize performance on every assessment in the packet. This section
will expand as you type (minimum 250–300 words). Then, you will write at least two
recommendations for the teachers and family of the client. These recommendations
should include specific instructional strategies.
Step 3: Complete the Teacher Referral Form.
If you are the client's teacher, you should mark and sign this form. If the client is the
student of another teacher, that teacher (if possible) should complete this form and sign it.
You can type the signature since this form is not scanned.
Comments should be included. If the teacher does not add comments, please request that
comments be added or add them yourself and sign your name beside those comments.

Step 4: Complete the Observation Checklist.
If you have daily access to the client, you should try to observe the client during
instruction time for several days (preferably a week). If you do not have daily access, you
will need to plan a time to observe the client.
You should check each of the observed behaviors and include insights for each of the
observations marked. If you do not have any or just a few items marked, you will need to
explain why.
Step 5: Complete the Basic Reading Inventory.
Follow carefully the administration procedures provided in your Basic Reading Inventory
(Johns, 2017) manual.
Complete and record the results on each page of the assessment. Refer to the List of
Assessments on the first page of the Client Report: Reading Packet.
Test for all three levels (Frustration, Instructional, or Independent), so multiple word lists
and passages will be given.
After completing the assessment, scan and attach the following required pages to the
Client Report: Reading Packet:
1. Graded Word List (include all that are used with client)
2. Graded Passages (include all that are used with client)
3. Basic Reading Inventory performance booklet
4. Qualitative Analysis of Basic Reading Inventory Insights
5. Retelling Procedure (starts on p. 405—include the one that applies)
6. Summary of Miscues on Basic Reading Inventory (p. 415)
7. Expert Noticing Observation Guide (p. 418)
Step 6: Return to Assessment Results and Recommendations.
After completing the assessments, go back to the first page of the Client Report:
Reading Packet. Fill in the last section on the Assessment Results and
Recommendations.
Include a narrative that is a description of each of the assessments and the results. This is
the Communication of Assessment Results.
Provide the recommendations for future instruction that are specific instructional
strategies for at least two audiences, such as client’s teachers and family. Be sure to give
at least two specific recommendations for each audience with research to support them. If
you are unfamiliar with different strategies, discuss these with current teaching
professionals, use internet articles, search research-based strategies, etc. Each audience
should be addressed (even if your client is homeschooled) because different roles are
provided during different times to help your client. Your testing results and research-
based strategies must support your recommendations. For example:

oIf your student is below grade level in fluency according to your assessment,
you could recommend that their teacher use echo reading and repeated
readings.
oIf you observed your student having difficulty paying attention, you could
recommend preferential seating.
Remember that you are the expert completing the testing. Do not recommend for
additional testing to be completed by someone else. You have already completed a
battery of assessments.
Step 7: Submit your completed packet to this assignment in Canvas.
Submit your entire packet as one Word document, including the scanned pages from the
Reading Assessment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
