FLUENCY ALERT*****FLUENCY ALERT*****FLUENCY ALERT***** Hey Everyone...as I have been seeing a variety of grades and campuses it has come to my attention that many people are not getting their readers words per minute when they do the F&P Assessment or DRA because the district isnt necessarily requiring that...ok...first of all...LOVE ALL OF YOU...but...remember that you shouldnt be doing the F&P Assessment or DRA because of district requirements but because of the information it gives to help you think about your readers. Knowing the words per minute is critical when you are considering levels of text for readers that would be suitable for independent reading. WPM isnt just on cruise control either...kids reading should have an ebb and flow - increasing and slowing down with the tone and meaning of the text. It is essential to look at this part of fluency (albeit only 1 of 5 components for fluency) when supporting readers. I am attaching a PDF from TC. It is a Fluency Benchmark - a rubric based on text level. I will copy this post to the blog and attach the doc. beckykoesel Happy Nov everyone!!! 1st semester is racing to an end!!
