Used as an integral part of the migrant student skills system operated by the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS), the reading skills list contains a catalog of reading skills typical of the K-12 grade range. This catalog includes a sample of the MSRTS transmittal record which permits teachers to report the reading skills being worked on at the time of the student's withdrawal. Published in English and Spanish, the document presents an explanation of terminology used for MSRTS reading skills: areas, topics, subtopics, and skills. It includes directions for recording reading skills development in the following areas: (1) decoding, which includes the topics of readiness, consonants, vowels, and structural analysis; (2) comprehension, which covers the topics of literal meaning, inferential reasoning, and vocabulary; and (3) study skills, which presents the topic of reading in the content area. Suggested uses to help the teacher receiving the MSRTS Reading Skills Record in developing a child's reading program are also included. (JD)
