Therefore, attention to fluency instruction should be a major component of any reading program. As defined by the National Reading Panel (2000), fluency is“reading text with speed, accuracy, and proper expression.” Fluent readers are like musicians or athletes who no longer have to “think” about a behavior; they “just do it.” A fluent reader moves over the words, sequencing them effortlessly, providing appropriate intonation, and integrating the punctuation. Fluent reading is easily discerned by the reader's audience. The importance of reading fluency cannot be underestimated, or its relevance doubted. Comprehension improves when students read quickly, accurately, and smoothly. Jay Samuels, of the University of Minnesota, used the term automaticity to describe the relationship between decoding and comprehension. Basically, when students become fluent, decoding is. automatic and no cognitive effort is needed to read; the result isa nearly total focus on comprehension. Additionally, there are some major side benefits of fluency instruction. As students become more fluent readers, they can begin to command their own learning and participate more broadly in the language community. With reading fluency comes greater awareness of the world and opportunity to interact with others, allowing students to help each other practice, rehearse for performances, and share their skills with an audience. Enjoy helping your students move toward reading fluency! Dr. Tindal is the Castle-Mecintosh-Knight Professor of Education at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

MODELING ORAL READING Use the overhead transparencies in this book to demonstrate various qualities of fluent oral reading: rate, phrasing, and intonation. (More about using the transparencies appears on page 4.) Rate Explain to students that oral reading rate varies depending on the type of selection being read. + A faster rate is appropriate for lighthearted pieces such as riddles, jokes, tongue twisters, and limericks. + Aslawer rate will better convey meaning when reading nonfiction selections or folk tales and myths. «+ Readers’ Theater should be read at a rate that corresponds with spoken dialogue. Phrasing Explain the importance of reading in phrases, rather than word by word. Use the transparencies to demonstrate how to divide text into meaningful chunks (see page 4). Intonation Intonation is the distinctive tone of voice that conveys meaning. Guide students to scan ahead for punctuation that signals appropriate intonation. + A question mark signals the reader to end the sentence with a slightly higher voice. + An exclamation mark indicates words that should be read with strong feeling. + Words in quotation marks should be read as if they are being spoken.

Choral Reading Choral reading Is simply reading in unison. Enliven your fluency practice by trying a number of approaches to choral reading throughout the year: + Refrain reading—one student reads most of the piece and the rest of the class reads repeated sections. + Antiphonal reading—small groups of students are each assigned a different section of text. One group reads its part, and a different group reads another part, such as the chorus or refrain. This technique is effective with chants, songs, and poems. + Radio reading—small groups of four to six students are assigned a passage of text. Each student reads a part of the passage in the proper order. This technique is perfect for speeches, nonfiction, and tales, myths, and legends. + Call and response—one student reads part of a joke or riddle, for example, and the whole group responds by reading the punch line ‘or answer. + Cumulative—one child or small group begins the reading and is sequentially joined by one or more readers until the entire class is reading, Partner Reading In partner reading, one student reads a line or a part, and the partner reads the next fine or part. Echo Reading In echo reading, a proficient reader is paired with a less proficient reader. The better reader reads one sentence or phrase. The other reader echoes back, following along with a finger, PERFORMING ORAL READING A performance celebrates the fluency achieved by daily practice. Friday afternoons are a perfect time for your readers to strut their stuff. Invite a buddy class or someone special, such as the principal, to share in the fun! Building Fluency « EMC 3341 » @ Evan-Moor Corp. 3Using the Transparencies The Transparencies Twenty selections from this book are provided on transparencies to assist you in madeling appropriate rate, phrasing, and intonation for students. These selections are also indicated in the Table of Contents for each section of the book. Demonstrating Phrasing on the Transparencies Fluent readers divide text into meaningful “chunks, "rather than reading word by word. For example, when a fluent reader reads the sentence "Slue-Foot Sue / was one of the greatest ladies / of the Texas frontier,” he or she would automatically pause as indicated by the slash marks. Demonstrate how to cluster words together by making slash marks (/) with a marking enon a chosen transparency. Read the selection to the students, and then read cchorally as. a group. Practice several times, with and without the slash marks. Starting below and continuing through page 6, you will find reductions of the ‘transparency selections showing suggested markings for phrasing. ec cereiend | nen fobemer gc) Newrseatean re ere yl wad ‘eee retard es/ ‘hertctngee at Soeatons oy & | ‘Building Fluency EMC 3341 = © Evan-Moor Comp.Fy way wr te?

We don't know for sure. But we can make good guesses. Maybe they drew to tell stories. Maybe they drew to show things they liked or to show where to hunt. Maybe they drew to have fun. Get a box big enough for you and a friend to crawl into. Tell your friend that you are going to pretend it is a cave. Get markers for both of you. What will you draw in your cave? Will you draw pictures of things you like? Will you draw to tell a story, or have fun? Ask people to look into your cave. When they ask, "Why did you draw?” tell them! ‘Building Fluency + EMC 941 « © Evan-Moor Corp,Assessing Oral Reading— the One-Minute Probe The one-minute probe is a very simple way to assess a student's oral reading fluency using norms established in an extensive study conducted by Jan Hasbrouck and Gerald Tindal in 2004. On page 7 is a selection that may be used for a one-minute probe. There is a cumulative word count at the end of each line of text. You may also use other appropriate reading material that contains at least 111 words. Preparation + Reproduce two copies of the chosen selection, one for the student and one for the evaluator. = You will need a watch with a second hand How to Conduct the Probe 1. Meet with the student individually. 2. Introduce the task to the student. Say, "Here isa reading selection about I'd like you to read it to me at a speed that is right for you. Please read as accurately as you can. | will stop you after one minute.” 3.Time the student for one minute as the student reads the selection aloud, If the student hesitates for 3 seconds, supply the word and tell the student to continue reading. On your copy, draw a line through any words that are supplied, omitted, or miscalled. At the end of a minute, make a slash mark after the last word the student read. 4, Count the number of miscalled words and subtract them from the total words read, This will give you the words correct per minute (WCPM). Recording Assessments 1. Find the grade level for the reading selection on the Oral Reading Fluency Data table on page 9. 2. In the correct “seasonal” column, locate the WCPM closest to the student's score. 3, Read across to the percentile column to get an approximate percentile norm for the student. 4. Chart the results on the Oral Reading Record Sheet on page 10. For an indication of growth in oral reading fluency, use this probe first in the fall (except for grade 1) and again in the winter and spring.
