Fluency: Assignments
Develop an instructional plan
Choose one student to take a fluency score.
- Sit and listen to the student read a passage from a book that is at their independent level.
- Take note of words read correctly and incorrectly.
- Find the words read per minute by taking the words read correctly (minus) the words read incorrectly.
- Determine what instruction should look like for this student.
- Write up your plan for this student’s growth in the area of fluency.
