Fluency
What is fluency?
Response must include comprehension, rate, and in some way talk about needing expression or phrasing
How many times does a student read the same passage in one instructional period?
3 times, 2 times will work though
What fluency error is the student making if they take breaths in the wrong places or they ignore punctuation?
incorrect phrasing
We teach to
Explain how this connects to fluency
Mastery
(response may vary but part of the connection must be that fluency and mastery are almost the same goals, you become fluent as you master the content)
What is one way to build fluency?
Repeated readings
What is repeated readings?
Students read a passage more than one time, for one minute
What is the difference between omission and insertion?
Give an example
Omission is when a word is left out, submission is when a word is added.
(response may vary)
What is needed for learning to occur?
Explain how this is connected to fluency.
Attention and Repetition
(response may vary but might contain how we use repeated readings to help students gain fluency and they must pay attention when the teacher helps them with their mistakes)
What is prosody and how is it connected to fluency?
a flow of reading, not a robot
prosody is one of the needed components of fluency
What are the two ways data can be collected? Explain both
Words correct per minute- the total words read minus the errors during a one-minute time frame
Words per minute- the total number of words that were read during a one-minute time frame
What mistake is a child making if they write was instead of saw or pot instead of top?
Why is the student making that mistake?
inversion or reversal

What are the five components of reading?
Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary
What are the four processors connected to fluency?
Orthographic processor (print), phonological processor (speech), meaning processor, and the context processor
How would a repeated reading be carried out?
The passage is selected, the student reads the passage for the first time while being timed for a minute, the teacher then puts a bracket next to where the student stopped and helps the student put one on their page as well, the teacher then find the WCPM or WPM, next they help the student graph it, the student then sets a goal, the process is repeated to see if the goal was met
List at least five common fluency errors and define them.
omission, repetition, inversion or reversal, insertion, substitution, guesses at words, word-by-word reading, incorrect phrasing, and voicing, lip movements, finger pointing, and head movements
