Miscue analysis was developed by Kenneth Goodman, Yetta Goodman and Corolyn Burke.
Miscue analysis is a means of observing and evaluating a person's oral reading.
It helps the teacher to know whether or not a reader can make sense of a passage and, if so, how it is done. Modified miscue analysis is valuable for teachers wanting to find out more about students who seem to have trouble gaining meaning from print. Once practiced in the procedure, teachers will be more aware of students' failed attempts to make meaning out of print and will be more able to assist those in difficulty. This technique can be used for any student and in any subject using reading, from Grade 4 to Grade 12. Its best application would be with students whom the teacher suspects have reading difficulties.
