Fluency Tier 1 Practice

A Literacy Tale of

iLEADing the Way

There was a kingdom of lifelong learners. Most reigned in the lands north of the City of Angels, yet one ruled deep in the lair of the OC. One day, a magical Literacy godmother appeared to tell the tale of Literacy iLEADing the Way!

Reading (Passage) Fluency is...

Task#2Gather passages & identify reading levels

Task #1Model Fluency Practices for the next 2 weeks

iLEAD Inspired for Literacy

To Do:

Set a time for your entire site to designate fluency practice! Make it a Schoolwide or a grade-level time. But it must be in addition to your 90-120 minute ELA Block.

Record the progress every Friday through the Progress Monitoring tracker. Adjust reading passages as needed. Focus on an MTSS Model.

Keep to the 6-minute time frame once it has been modeled and track the learner's progress. Fluency partners are accountable for each other.

Daily Fluency Implementation

Step 3

Step 2

Daily fluency partner, reciprocal practice is at the learners' differentiated ability. Model and practice several times. Use data to determine levels.

Step 1

The benefits of repeated readings of the same passage to build fluency have been well documented.

Rereading to Build Fluency

• 1 minute for partners to get ready.

• 1 minute for partner 1 to read.

• 1 minute for partner 2 to tell partner 1 the number of words read, the errors / corrections. Partner 1 quickly records his/her cwpm.

• 1 minute for partner 2 to read.

• 1 minute for partner 1 to tell partner 2 the number of words read, the errors / corrections. Partner 2 quickly records his/her cwpm.

• 1 minute for both partners to color in their graphs, record their data, and put away materials.

Here's the gist:

Oral Reading Fluency Norms

Only measures accuracy and rate; not prosody. We must teach and model expression.

It's not a race! Facilitators must explain that we read like we speak. It's not about how fast we go but building automaticity.

Set Goals. Retest Learner's Oral Reading Fluency (ORF), if Needed

6-Minute Solutions in Action

Monday: 2 options for introducing a "cold" read. Partners preview the passage by whisper or silently reading and identify any unknow words. Tuesday - Thursday: Fluency practice. Friday: Partners record final fluency score and report to facilitator. Turn in passage & select the passage for following week.
