What is Fluency? • Rate • Automaticity • Accuracy • Prosody/phrasing • Understanding of Punctuation and Expression (Feeling) based on author’s syntax
Why Fluency is Important Most readers have reading difficulties in one or more components of fluency.
Fluent vs. Disfluent Readers • With an elbow partner, discuss the traits of fluent and disfluent readers (figure 10.2, p. 260). • Why do these matter?
How Rate is Determined • WPM • WCPM • One Minute Reading • Total words read- errors = words correct per minute (WCPM) • Example: 62 words read – 5 errors = 57 wcpm (Review Figure 10.3, p. 261)
How would you describe these WCPM to a parent? • 1st gr. 60 WCPM, Spring? • 3rd gr. 60 WCPM, Winter? • 5th gr. 150 WCPM, Fall?
(pp. 260-262) Automaticity • Recognize Sight Words • Familiarity with sounds/letter combinations • Recognizes chunks/syllables within words • Recognizes meaning of words
Phrasing or Prosody(pp.262-) • Readers divide (parse) text into meaningful chunks when they read with expression. • These chunks include phrases and clauses. • Fluent readers know when to pause for expression and emphasis.
Good Readers Phrase for… • Punctuation- expression • Conjunctions • Prepositional Phrases • Subject/Predicate
Reading in Phrases Simply embedding slash marks into a passage / at phrase and sentence junctures / can have a positive effect / on student’s own phrasing, / fluency, / and comprehension. /For students who do not have a good understanding / of how sentences are phrased or chunked /, the slash marks provide direct visual cues / that enable students’ own phrased reading. – Tim Rasinski
Sample Poem with Marked Phrases • Read with a partner Figure 10.4 a poem with natural phrasing and then 10.5. p. 263 with the slash marks.
Expression & Punctuation Punctuation Power With a partner read the following sentences using the appropriate punctuation and intonation. I Pledge Allegiance to the flag. I Pledge Allegiance to the flag! I pledge Allegiance to the flag? I Pledge Allegiance to the FLAG! I Pledge Allegiance to the flag.
Fluency Teaching Guidelines (pp. 266) • Text selection is CRITICAL! • Model, model, model! Students need to hear fluent rdg • Repeated readings (choral reading and reader’s theatre with a purpose and goal). • Utilize a variety of genres. • Explicit instruction may be necessary (such as phrasing skills). • Scaffold support- time & practice (unison reading, read along, paired reading, etc…).

Informal & Formal Assessmentpp. 260-262 Informal Assessment • Running Records • WPM & WCPM • Self-evaluation (App. C.43, p. 472) • Fluency Checklist (App. C. 41, p. 469) • Fluency Checklist for narrative text (App. C. 42, p.470) • Oral Reading Fluency Rubric C.43 p. 268 Formal Assessment • Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test, Third Edition • DIBELS • Testing of Reading Fluency (TORF)
Fluency Assessment(Tyler, 1st grade- Spring)- HO p. 34-35 • 1s will time and mark on the text copy when one minute is done. • 2s will listen and do the appendix (stage) p. 469, C.41 • 3s will listen and do checklist appendix p. 470 C.42 • 4s will do WCPM, listen to Tyler and mark the word if it is incorrect, this does not require coding like for a running record. 1s will tell you when a minute is complete. Compare WCPM and grade level to chart p. 261. • 5s will use p. 471 C.43 to score Tyler’s fluency.
