3 Indicators of fluent reading
[Competency 8]
Accuracy
Rate
Prosody
Accuracy
[Competency 8]
Pronounce words correctly (involves phonics skills, sight word knowledge, structural analysis skills, syllabic analysis skills, and orthographic knowledge)
Rate
[Competency 8]
Ability to quickly decode words and to speedily read phrases and sentences
Prosody
[Competency 8]
-Reading with “expression”
(Emphasis of certain words, variation in pitch, and pausing)
-Understanding sentence structure, punctuation, purpose
Automaticity
[Competency 8]
Swift and accurate reading
Role of Fluency (in all stages)
[Competency 8]
- accurate and swift letter naming
- fluency with single-syllable words & high-frequency sight words
- multisyllabic words
- achieve automaticity of words with irregular spellings and content-area words
Automaticity theory
[Competency 8]
Requires readers to decode words and understand the meaning of the text
Factors that disrupt fluency
[Competency 8]
- weak word analysis skills
- lack of familiarity with content vocabulary
- lack of background knowledge
- lack of familiarity with more complex syntactic structures
Weak word analysis skills
[Competency 8]
Child encounters several unrecognizable words & spends too much time trying to figure out how to pronounce these words; “forget” what they are reading and diminishes comprehension
Role of Decodable Text in Fluent Reading
[Competency 8]
- Young readers: builds fluency while they are acquiring basic phonics skills and high-frequency sight words
- Mastery of high frequency sight words expands their knowledge of content-related sight words, master advance letter-sound correspondences, and develop solid structural analysis and syllabic analysis
Effective Independent Silent Reading
[Competency 8]
- Books at appropriate reading levels
- Hold students accountable for comprehension
Limits of Independent Silent Reading
[Competency 8]
-does not guarantee fluent reading (might be practicing inaccurate, slow, and no expressive reading)
Instructional Strategies for Improving Fluency Components (accuracy, rate, and prosody)
[Competency 9]
- Monitored Oral Reading with the Teacher
- Repeated Readings
Monitored Oral Reading with Teacher
[Competency 9]
- teacher models fluent, efficient reading
- student practices reading aloud the same text after teacher
- teacher feedback: respond to student’s reading (select phrase or sentence student struggled with and have child reread correctly)
Repeated Readings
[Competency 9]
- Student retreads alone
- Timed readings
- Tape-assisted readings
- Paired reading with a partner
