  1. Why Fluency? Comprehension is the goal of all reading. “Word decoding is the ‘bottleneck’ in the meaning-making process. When students can decode only with effort, decoding competes with comprehension efforts for the limited capacity available for processing of text.” (Lundberg, 2002)

  2. Oral Language Weakness and Reading Achievement High Oral Language in Kindergarten (45 million words) 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 5.2 years difference Low Oral Language in Kindergarten (13 million words) Reading Age Level • Reading issues in Grade 3 require intensive intervention • 74% (Grade 3) continue to struggle in Grade 9 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Chronological Age

  3. Why is learning to read so challenging?

  4. Our Brain • Built for . . . • pattern analysis • adaptation and change • (neuroplasticity)

  6. Reading: Mastering an Invented System Motor cheese

  7. Elements of Reading Fluency • Automaticity – from frequent pauses toward automatic word recognition and rapid word solving • Phrasing – from word by word toward phrasing in groups, illustrating the use of syntactic clues (e.g., language patterns, punctuation) and preserving meaning • Expression – from monotone through the use of visual cues (e.g., bold font, exclamation mark) toward a natural rise and fall in pitch, tone and rhythm as text is read with expressive interpretation to enhance meaning.

  8. It is the volume of high-success reading that determines a student's progress in reading. R. Allington

  9. Oral Reading Fluency - Hasbrouck & Tindal Students scoring 10+ words below the 50th percentile using the average score of two unpracticed readings from grade-level materials need a fluency-building program.

  10. RAZ-KIDS How To

  11. Building Stamina & Fluency • Set baseline: Find your pace. • Read a book (at making sense speed) for 10 min. • Record # of pages [sets baseline for indiv reading rate] • Multiply by 6 to get 1 hour. (eg. 6 pg x 6 = 36 pg for 1 hour). • Double it to get expected pages/week

  12. Student Reading Rates Record

  13. Word Study • Words Their Way – Invernizzi, Bear, Templeton • Approach to spelling and word knowledge teaches students to examine words to discover regularities, patterns and conventions • Number of words used surpasses traditional word spelling programs
