Definition of Fluency Accuracy of Word Recognition Automaticity in Word Recognition Interpretive and Meaningful Reading
6
Accuracy in Word Recognition Decoding Accuracy – the ability of readers to decode words accurately in text.
7
Automaticity in Word Recognition Automaticity – the ability of readers to decode words in text with minimal use of attentional resources. “…I have found strong correlations between oral reading fluency measurements and students’ performance on standardized test of reading achievement for students at primary, intermediate, middle, and even secondary school levels.” Rasinski, 2004
8
Interpretative and Meaningful Reading Meaningful Reading - the ability of readers to appropriately use phrasing and expression. **This is often referred to as prosody.

Assessment Provides teachers with information to plan regular classroom instruction as well as additional or more targeted instruction (intervention) Identifies students who are not responding well to instructional efforts
11
Assessment of Fluency Word Recognition Accuracy (Decoding) Reading Fluency – Automaticity/Rate Reading Fluency – Prosody
12
Assessment Procedure Administer assessment Analyze assessment - Determine Word Recognition Accuracy - Compare to Target Rate Norms - Rate Reading Fluency-Prosody Record data on Class Record Sheet and Individual Student Record Sheet
13
Grade 7: Form A – B Administering Assessment
14
Word Recognition Accuracy Divide the total number of words read correctly by the total number of words read (correct and incorrect). For example, if the student read 94 words with 8 errors, the percentage of words read correctly would be reflected in following fraction. 86/94 (86 divided by 94) = 91.5%
