Fluency Assessment DATA ANALYSIS!! • What does my whole class need? • What do my fluent readers need? • What do my accurate, yet slow readers need? • What do my “decoders” need?

Beyond the basics… Instruction and Practice

Tackling some decoding issues… • Syllable reading • Word-pair combinations • Fry’s phrase list • Word sorts
Syllable Reading • Sight syllables • Syllable blending • Making words from syllable parts
Word-pair Combinations • Focus on short vs. long vowel sounds • Focus on word endings
