ORF is important because it is one critical component for reading comprehension; fluent readers can comprehend material because they are able to focus on the meaning of the words and not on decoding them. Teachers use students' ORF scores for progress-monitoring reading growth. Students read a prescribed passed aloud for one minute. The assessor takes into account errors (omitted words, substitutions, and hesitations for more than three seconds) to determine the number of correct words per minute.
