4/23/2024 0 Comments My fluency checklist![]() ![]() I was excited to find something that gave tangible characteristics for how fluent readers should sound- their prosody. ![]() One of the first things I found was the NAEP Oral Reading Fluency scale. I found resources that measured each skill in isolation and I researched things to the best of my abilities as a reading interventionist (not a researcher). To my knowledge, there’s never been a way to measure reading fluency that includes all three components of reading fluency, and that was my mission. So, if we’re being asked to give a grade for fluency (not saying we should, just that it’s the ask of many teachers), how do we do that? How do you measure reading fluency? But, comprehension can also be directly tied to prosody as meaning is often tied to phrasing and intonations. Obviously, accuracy and automaticity are the most important from a decoding standpoint. Prosody: How does the student sound? Is there phrasing and expression?Įach of these components is a factor in a student’s overall reading fluency. Each component encompasses a different area of reading.Īccuracy: Including self-correction, how accurate was the decoding or word recallĪutomaticity: How many words were read correctly There are 3 well-researched components to reading fluency: accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. What are the components of reading fluency? My oral reading fluency rubrics were born out of that question. One of the teachers came to me and said…”How do you grade fluency?” We talked things through and couldn’t come to a solid opinion on the best way. Indicators based on the standards were broken apart into the report card and each received their own score which then made up the overall grade. We revamped our report cards that year to be very standards focused. Many, many years ago, I was a reading teacher in a K-5 building.
