In miscue analysis, which question checks if the miscue aligns with the grammar and meaning of what came before?

• A. Did the miscue reflect the speaker's normal patterns?
• B. Did the miscue go with the grammar and meaning of what came before?
• C. Did the miscue go with the grammar and meaning after or followed?
• D. Was the miscue corrected?

Answer: (B)

When we analyze a reader’s miscues, we look at how the error fits with the text they’ve already heard or read. The best fit here is the idea that the miscue goes with the grammar and meaning of what came before. If the misread word or phrase still aligns grammatically and makes sense in the context of the preceding sentence, it shows the reader’s predictions and processing are guided by the earlier context. This reflects how the reader uses prior information to attempt the next part of the text. It isn’t about whether the error matches the reader’s typical patterns, nor about how it connects to later text or whether the error was corrected.
