Miscue analysis was originally developed by Ken Goodman to understand the reading process, and functions as a diagnostic tool that helps researchers and teachers gain insight into how a reader is actually reading. A miscue is an observed response during reading that differs from the expected response; Goodman used this neutral term rather than a word like error or mistake in order to avoid value judgments, treating such departures from the text as informative windows on the reading process rather than simple failures.

What does a miscue analysis session involve?
One complete oral reading is recorded and marked for miscues, then the reader retells it.
A single, complete oral reading experience is collected and examined, followed by a retelling. In the Reading Miscue Inventory the student's reading aloud is taped so that in-depth analysis can happen later, and all deviations from the printed text are marked. A miscue is an observed response that does not match what the person listening expects to hear. The inventory looks for both an unaided and an aided retelling.
