What type of error might be classified during miscue analysis?

During miscue analysis, pronunciation errors are classified as they directly relate to how a reader articulates words while reading aloud. This type of analysis focuses on the differences between what a reader is supposed to say versus what they actually say, capturing errors in pronunciation that can affect comprehension and fluency.

The emphasis here is on understanding how mispronunciations can indicate areas where a reader may have difficulty, such as with phonetics, decoding skills, or familiarity with vocabulary. Assessing these errors assists educators in identifying specific needs and strategies to support the reader's growth and improvement in reading proficiency.

Other types of errors, such as punctuation, spelling, and formatting, do not focus on the oral reading process but rather on the written aspects of language. Thus, they are not the primary focus of miscue analysis, which is rooted in examining the spoken dimension of reading and its relationship to comprehension and fluency.
