View the videos below to learn about teaching fluency: The ability to read text with…
Accuracy- Well-developed word-recognition skills and self-correction while reading
Prosody- Appropriate expression, intonation, pausing, and inflection.
Program- Identify a program near your hometown (prior to UCF) that incorporates exceptional education students. Were you previously aware of this program? Did you engage with this program back in high school? What did a lot of your peers say about said program?
Read the instructions for Assessing Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) below.
Click the link below to access the reading passage and scoring sheet that Zoe and Jackson read earlier in the module.
After reading the instructions for assessing oral reading fluency, use the reading passage sheet to analyze Zoe and Jackson's fluency in the videos above.
Additionally, use the following reading fluency rubric to evaluate all components of their reading http://www.timrasinski.com/presentations/multidimensional_fluency_rubric_4_factors.pdf
SUBMIT a copy of your ORF scoring sheet and completed reading fluency rubric for each student along with a brief (half-page or less) summary of your overall analysis of each student's reading fluency.
2.4 Compare inter- and intraindividual differences.
Differences between two or more persons in a particular area.
Intra-individual differences
Differences within the individual; unique patterns of strengths and needs.
Read about the assessments below retrieved from Intervention Central's Academic Intervention Planner and consider which assessment(s) you would use for students t instruction and/or intervention.
On our course discussion board, share which strategy(s) you chose for Zoe and Jackson. under the topic Planning for Fluency Instruction/Intervention. Explain your selection(s).
Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Fluency allows readers to make meaning from a text.
Reading fluency is NOT just how fast a student reads. Fluency encompasses rate, accuracy, and expression when reading.
By listening to students read, teachers are able to monitor reading development and plan accordingly for instruction and/or intervention.
Fluency is directly connected to other areas of literacy instruction. Deficits in early literacy skills such as phonemic awareness or decoding can be identified and targeted for intervention with ongoing progress monitoring of fluency, and students exhibiting comprehension breakdowns often need more intensive fluency intervention.
Fluency instruction typically begins during the second half of first grade and continues through the third grade and beyond, with 3rd grade being the critical year given that students in 4th grade and beyond are increasingly exposed to more complex content area reading.
Reading fluency strategies/activities/interventions are for use at all tiers of RTI, but with changes in frequency, intensity, and/or duration based on student needs.
