Make sure you have put the student’s name and the test date at the top of your copy of the passage Have a watch or clock with a second hand available for timing the reading Give the student a copy of the passage for the test Note: The student should NOT have seen the passage beforehand; it is a “fresh” reading passage for the student Do NOT allow the student to read the passage silently before oral reading Have the student read the text aloud Do not have the student read the title as part of the fluency reading; it is not included in the running word count (You may want to tape-record the student’s reading for later evaluation.) Stop the student at exactly one minute and note precisely where the student stopped As the student reads orally, on your copy of the text mark any miscues or errors the student makes during the reading (see the chart on page viii) Count the total number of words the student read in one minute Subtract any words the student read incorrectly Record the words correct per minute score on the test The formula is: Total # of words read – # of errors = words correct per minute (wcpm) © Pearson Education You will likely want to keep the test in your folder for the student You may also want to record students’ progress on the Reading Fluency Progress Chart on page xi Fresh Reads vii How to Identify Reading Miscues/Errors Using the passage on page ix, the chart below shows the kinds of miscues and errors to look for as a student reads aloud and the notations to use to mark them Reading Miscue Notations Omission The student omits words or word parts You can whip up a batter in a matter of minutes Substitution The student substitutes words or parts of words for the words in the text First, mix a tablespoon of baking and powder with a half cup of flour Insertion The student inserts words or parts of words that are not in the text The name depends on where you too live Mispronunciation/Misreading The student pronounces or reads a word incorrectly This all-American food is delicious and easy to make Hesitation The student hesitates over a word and the teacher provides the word But they go by other names as well, H including griddle cakes and hot cakes Self-correction The student reads a word incorrectly but then corrects the error Slowly mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones delicate sc Notes • If the student hesitates over a word, wait several seconds before telling the student what the word is • Self-correction is not counted as an actual error However, writing “SC” over the word or words will help you identify words that give the student some difficulty viii Fresh Reads © Pearson Education • If a student makes the same error more than once, count it as only one error Sample Fluency Test Here is the passage marked as shown on the previous page This is the “OnLevel” passage from Grade 4, Unit 1, Week As the student reads the passage aloud to you, mark miscues and errors Have the student read for exactly one minute, and then mark the last word the student reads Name 9/4/2009 107 Susan Because of Winn-Dixie Flapjacks You may know them as flapjacks But they go by other names as well, including H too griddle cakes and hot cakes The name depends on where you live Still, most Americans know a pancake when they see one delicate This all-American food is delicious and easy to make You can whip up a batter 15 29 37 52 in a matter of minutes All you need is milk, an egg, butter, flour, baking powder, 68 and oil 70 and First, mix a tablespoon of baking powder with a half cup of flour Next beat 85 together the egg with a half cup of milk and a quarter cup of oil Slowly mix the dry 104 ingredients with the wet ones 109 sc Now your batter is ready Heat up a large frying pan and add two tablespoons 124 of butter Pour spoonfuls of batter into the melted butter Let the pancakes fry until 139 they are golden brown on the bottom Flip them over and brown them on the other 155 side Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup, honey, or jam 166 © Pearson Education 112 - = 107 Total number of words read 112 number of errors – Words correct per minute Fresh Reads 107 ix Interpreting the Results According to published norms for oral reading fluency, students at the end of Grade should be reading fluently at 130 words correct per minute in text that is on grade level This chart gives recommended progress toward that goal End of Unit/Grade Reading Rate (wcpm) Grade Unit 95 to 105 Grade Unit 100 to 110 Grade Unit 105 to 115 Grade Unit 110 to 120 Grade Unit 115 to 125 Grade Unit 120 to 130 End of Year Goal 130 © Pearson Education If a student’s reading rate is lower than the suggested progress toward the standard for his or her grade level, your notes on the student’s miscues may help you determine why the rate is low Does the student make errors that indicate his or her decoding skills are poor? If so, further instruction in phonics may be needed Do the errors reflect a lack of comprehension or limited vocabulary? In that case, instruction in comprehension strategies and exposure to more vocabulary words may help A lack of fluency may indicate a lack of exposure to models of fluent oral reading It may also mean that the student isn’t reading enough material at his or her reading level “Matching Students to Texts” in the Additional Resources section at the back of the Scott Foresman Reading Street Teacher’s Editions gives suggestions on increasing reading fluency x Fresh Reads Reading Fluency Progress Chart Unit Student’s Name Date WCPM Unit Date WCPM Unit Date WCPM Unit Date WCPM Unit Date WCPM Unit Date WCPM 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 © Pearson Education 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 Fresh Reads xi Because of Winn-Dixie Name Read the selection Then answer the questions that follow Beach Party Deb shook the crumbs off her beach towel and started off across the sandy beach 15 to the lake A strong wind was blowing, and the sun had disappeared behind black 30 clouds Very exciting weather, Deb thought 36 “Where you think you’re going?” asked her mother, who was busy filling a beach bag “That storm is coming in fast.” 50 58 “Oh, Mom,” said Deb “Let’s just stay till it starts to rain.” 70 “No way,” said her mother “This is a dangerous place to be in a storm Don’t 86 you know that lightning is attracted to water?” Reluctantly Deb turned back Quickly they finished packing and then carried 94 105 everything to the car Suddenly a flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed 119 immediately by a crash of thunder Rain began to fall in big fat drops that came 135 faster and faster 138 143 © Pearson Education “Just in time,” said Deb Turn the page Fresh Reads Unit Week SI Answer the questions below What did Deb right before her mother said, “Where you think you’re going?” A carried their things to the car B said, “Just in time” C walked toward the lake D shook the crumbs out of her beach towel Which of these events happened last in this story?
