    1. FLUENCY Assessing & Teaching this KEY Reading Skill

    4. REAL TARGET: Comprehension & Motivation Multiple Causes of Comprehension Problems: Lack of sufficient background knowledge Lack of sufficient language foundation Fails to organize & use information to understand--Does not realize when s/he fails to understand Decoding/fluency skills poor

    6. WHY IS FLUENCY SO IMPORTANT? Comprehension limited by labored, inefficient reading (working memory) Lack of fluency = lack of motivation = fewer words read = smaller vocabulary = limited comprehension (self-perpetuating) “There is no comprehension strategy that compensates for difficulty reading words accurately & fluently.” (Torgeson, 2003)

    7. Bridge to Comprehension Fluency forms the bridge between word recognition & comprehension

    10. OSPI Reading Fluency GLEs Grade 1: 50-65+ words correct per minute Grade 2: 90-100+ wcpm Grade 3: 110-120+ wcpm Grade 4: 115-125+ wcpm Grade 5: 125-135+ wcpm Grade 6 & up: 145-155+ wcpm

    11. Hasbrouck & Tindal Norms for Oral Reading Fluency for Grades 2-5

    13. Guided reading practice improves fluency for “typical” students Independent practice (silent reading) NOT sufficient to improve fluency

    19. Establishing Partners Avoid pairing highest and lowest skilled readers Consider taking lowest readers into a small group for practice with the teacher
