Short /a/

26. 4. Short Passage Fluency (SPF) is a paper-based repeated reading activity that uses a series of Really Silly Stories (RSS). Each story is broken into daily sections. In each section, 30- and 40-word increments are designated with bold-faced type and underlines. Students read a daily section aloud three times, stopping at their designated target level (30 or 40 words). Each attempt is timed. Students then record their three times on a graph. Some prefer to use paper. A paper version of these are included.
