READING FLUENCY

READING FLUENCY

1. IT IS RELEVANT THE PACE, SPEED, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH PEOPLE READ

   • READING TOO SLOWLY CAN IMPEDE COMPREHENSION
   • PACE INCREASES WITH AGE BUT HAS A MAXIMUM
   • SILENT READING TASKS + GUIDANCE = IMPROVE FLUENCY

2. IT INCLUDES

   • PROSODY
     • AN ASPECT OF ORAL READING THAT MAKES READING PLEASANT TO LISTEN
       • PUNCTUATION, INFLECTION BASED ON THE WORDS, COMPLETED IN A NATURAL MANNER
   • AUTOMATICITY
     • TO IDENTIFY WORDS, SO MORE OF THE MENTAL ENERGY AND TO FOCUS ON COMPREHENDING THE INFO.
     • IT USES EXPRESSION AND ULTIMATELY COMPREHENSION

3. VSC

4. STRATEGY

   • REPEATE= ORAL READING OF PASSAGES
     • STS READ THE SAME PASSAGE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER SEVERAL DAYS (4-5) IN ORDER TO INCREASE FLUENCY SKILLS
       • IT MUST BE TIMED= HOW MANY CORRECT WORDS PER MINUTE
       • IT MUST BE SET A GOAL
         • SHOWN IN GRAPHICS THE ADVANCE, PLUS SETTING NEW GOALS/ PASSAGES ONCE IT IS ACHIEVED
           • MATHEMATICAL FORMULA
             • ORAL READING FLUENCY = # OF WORDS READ CORRECTLY * 60/ # OF SECONDS IT TOOK TO READ THE PASSAGE
           • RUBRIC
       • IT MUST BE IMPROVED THE EXPRESSION
     • FIRST TIME READING= COLD READ
     • MANY TIMES READ= WARM READS
   • AUDIO RECORDING OF THE STUDENT OR STORY
     • REPEAT ALONG WITH A PRERECORDED COPY
   • CHORAL READING
     • READ TOGETHER OUT LOUD WITH A MODEL READER (FLUENT READER)
   • BUDDY READING
     • READ IN PAIRS TOGETHER IN A BACK -AND-FORTH MANNER (EACH READS A PARAGRAPH, SENTENCE, PAGE, ETC)
   • READERS' THEATER
     • TEXT IS DIVIDED INTO PARTS/ EACH STUDENT HAS A TURN
   • ECHOLALIA
     • A ST READS A PASSAGE WHILE HEARING A TEACHER READ VERY SLIGHTLY AHEAD IN THE TEXT INTO HIS/HER RIGHT EAR
       • A SLIGHT ECHO IS CREATED WITH THE DUAL READING
       • 10 MINUTES A DAY- GAIN YEARS OF FLUENCY
