What is Modified Miscue Analysis?According
to Mallow and Patterson, MMA is a procedure which allows for insight into a
learner's cueing systems and methods of meaning making through the dissection of
oral reading sessions.
How is MMA accomplished?
Mallow and Patterson suggest taping or
marking a text copy of an oral reading session. When at least 25 errors are
harvested the session may cease and the analysis begin.
The
best explanation of MMA is observing it one's self. To that end, various MMA
sessions have been taped and coded with the opportunity to listen, and try it
for yourself.

you can also listen to the actual session and make your own observations. You
could even print the original text, listen, and make your own analysis before
you look at the researcher's perceived miscues and subsequent observations.
