| Corrected Contextual Paragraph |
Here are the corrections that need to be made in this contextual reading exercise.
Early Monday morning, a box arrived on campus and its effects have been devastating. The
box was supposed to be a shipment of watercolor sets — paints and brushes – for the
upcoming Spring Flowers art week. Instead, what was delivered was a box containing (a) two
dozen loaded paintball guns. It is still unclear whether the mix-up is the fault of the paint
warehouse or the shipping company, but both have issued official apologies.
Also hazy is how exactly the girls of St. Mary’s came to possess the weapons. Somehow,
soon after recess on Monday, all 24 guns made it into the hands of students, most suspected
to be third graders, though their identities have not been revealed. Using the guns to terrorize
their teachers and administrators, the girls soon overtook the school, locking the principal and
several “mean” teachers in a custodial closet and forcing all other adults to remain in the
cafeteria. For the most part, the girls have been keeping themselves hidden. If one emerges
from a hiding place she is covered in paint, her face hidden behind a bandana, virtually
impossible to recognize.
Guide:
Yellow words are words that needed to be corrected.
Red words are words that should have been deleted.
So were you surprised at the few or large number of mistakes that were made?
If you answer "yes," you should know that first of all, you are perfectly normal.
Okay. So now you're wondering what you do with this information, right?
Contextual reading is a skill that needs to be developed and mastered in order to
become a successful scopist. The brain page of this website explains extensively
why this has to be thoroughly practiced and mastered in order to be successful.
This exercise is similar to several that you will experience in the Scoping Intern Program
(SIP). Many interns have been pleasantly surprised and yet disappointed to discover the
many things in scoping training that they did not even know needed to be included in a
training program. The SIP will take you from wherever you are at (from your previous
training experience), give you lots of practice and feedback so you can actually know how you
are progressing. If you weren't tested and provided specific feedback on your mistakes and
the reason behind them, you will find mastering scoping to be very challenging. Why go
through that when the SIP is here to help you and is affordable?
Why wait another day when you truly want to be successful and possibly financially need to be
successful?
