  3. NRP Conclusions Regarding Importance of Oral Reading Fluency: “An extensive review of the literature indicates that classroom practices that encourage repeated oral reading with feedback and guidance leads to meaningful improvements in reading expertise for students—for good readers as well as those who are experiencing difficulties.”-p. 3-3

  4. CBM Student Reading Samples: What Difference Does Fluency Make? • 3rd Grade: 19 Words Per Minute • 3rd Grade: 70 Words Per Minute • 3rd Grade: 98 Words Per Minute

  5. CBM Reading Probes: Preparation

  6. CBM Reading Assessment: Preparation • Decide on ‘measurement pool’ (e.g., basal reading series, literature selections sorted according to readability) • Prepare examiner and student copies of passages • Select passages randomly from larger library when administering to student

  7. CBM Reading Measurement Pool: Silver Burdett & Ginn (1989) Book 2: Out Came the Sun…..Grade 1 Book 1: All Through the Town.Grade 1 Book 3: Morning Bells….……..Grade 1 Book 4: Make A Wish…………Grade 1 Book 5: A New Day……………Grade 1 Book 6: Garden Gates………..Grade 2 Book 7: Going Places…………Grade 2 Book 8: Castles of Sand………Grade 3 Book 9: On the Horizon……….Grade 3 Book 10: Silver Secrets……….Grade 4 Book 11: Dream Chasers……..Grade 5 Book 12: Wind by the Sea…….Grade 6

  8. CBM Reading Probes: Example

  9. CBM Reading Passages: Variability The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is: (.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59 where: ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number of sentences) ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables divided by the number of words)

  10. To complete readability statistics using MS Word… • Go to ‘Tools’ pull-down menu. • Select ‘Options…’ • Click on ‘Spelling & Grammar’ tab • Click on ‘Show Readability Statistics’ checkbox

  11. Readability Statistics: MS Word

  13. CBM Reading Probes: Administration

  14. CBM Reading Probes: Administration Materials needed: • 3 passages selected at random from probe collection • Stopwatch • Pen or marker • Quiet, non-distracting location

  15. CBM Reading Assessment: Administration • Sit at table next to or across from student • Read off standardized directions • Start stopwatch after (a) student reads first word, or (b) examiner provides first word

  16. CBM Reading Assessment: Administration • Supply correct word if student hesitates for longer than 3 seconds • Mark errors on examiner passage • Mark student stopping point in passage (“]”) at end of 60 seconds • Tell student to stop reading

  17. CBM Reading Activity: At your table: • Pair off with your neighbor • Select one of you to serve as examiner and one as student • Have the examiner read the CBM reading directions aloud to the ‘student’ • Have the student complete a single CBM passage • When the student has completed the passage, score the probe

  18. CBM Reading Probes: Scoring

  19. CBM Reading Assessment: Scoring Words are counted as correct if . . . • the student repeats a correctly read word • the student self-corrects within 3 seconds • variant pronunciation of a word is due to dialectical differences or speech articulation issues

  20. CBM Reading Assessment: Scoring Words are counted as incorrect if they are. . . • mispronunciations • substitutions (e.g., home for house) • omissions • hesitations of greater than 3 seconds • word transpositions

  21. CBM Reading Assessment: Scoring Words read aloud are ignored if. . . • the student inserts them into the text

  22. CBM Reading Assessment: Computing Correctly Read Words Number of correctly read words (CRW) is calculated by: • subtracting number of errors (E) from • total read words (TRW) during timed minute --words read up to end bracket in passage

  23. CBM Reading Assessment: Computing Correctly Read Words • TRW=74 • Errors=5 • CRW=69

  24. CBM Reading Assessment: Omitted Text Adjustment: • Count up the number of words omitted in a segment of a passage • Subtract all but one of those omitted words from the total word count (TRW) • Repeat for additional omitted passages • Count each omission as single error when calculating correctly read words (CRW)

  25. CBM Reading Assessment: Scoring Example/Omitted Text • TRW=74 • Omitted Words=10 • New TRW=64 • Errors=6 • CRW=58
