REAL ISSUE:Comprehension & Motivation!

MULTIPLE Causes of Comprehension Problems: Lack of sufficient background/vocabulary. Lack of sufficient language foundation. Fails to organize & use information to understand--Does not realize when s/hefails to understand. Poor decoding/fluency skills.

“This table may not include all of the drugs that prolong the QT interval or cause torsades. Risk of drug-induced QT prolongation may be increased in women, the elderly, and in hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, bradycardia, starvation, CHF, and CNS injuries. Hepatorenal dysfunction and drug interactions can increase the concentration of QT interval-prolonging drugs. Coadministration of QT interval-prolonging drugs can have additive effects.”

ACCURACY: Comprehension is limited byinaccurate reading (below 95%). RATE: Comprehension is limited by inefficient,slow, laborious reading or reading too fast. Lack of fluency = lack of motivation =fewer words read = smaller vocabulary =limited comprehension (self-perpetuating)

CHORAL READINGWhole class reads ALOUD & TOGETHER

from same selection NON-THREATENING practicePROCEDURE Orally read with students Read at a moderate rate Use pre-correction procedures:

“Keep your voice with mine.”

CLOZE READINGASSISTS students in reading difficult materialProvides GROUP PRACTICE & MAINTAINS

student ATTENTION

PROCEDURE Orally read the material to students Read at a moderate rate Pause & have students say the next word Intentionally delete “meaningful words”

The Right to ReadReading is important. It is a useful skill. People who

can read have an easier time in life. They can read traffic signs, menus and maps. They can pass a test to get a driver’s license. They can apply for a job. Reading is also powerful. People who can read can learn about all kinds of things.

However, not everyone can read. Some experts study reading. They say that one out of every sixth person in the world can’t read. There are many reasons for this problem. Some countries do not let girls go to school. In those countries, many women cannot read. Other people live in very poor countries. No one can afford to learn to read in these countries. They are busy trying to find food to eat. Many countries are at war. Their people are fighting to stay alive. They do not have time to learn to read.

STRUCTURED PARTNER READING

PROCEDURE ASSIGN students partners Designate amount to read to partner When an error is heard, teach students to use the

“Ask, then Tell” procedure:

ASK “Can you figure out this word?”TELL “The word is ______.” “Read the sentence again.”

What reading speed is considered speed reading? ›

The normal reading rate (from slow to very fast) is 100 – 400 words per minute. Speed reading means reading faster than this normal range without losing comprehension. Speed readers read as much as 400 – 700 words per minute, with some speedsters reaching 1,000 words per minute.

How many wpm is considered speed reading? ›

High school or college students who need to memorize or learn the material they're reading typically go through 100 to 200 words in a minute. Anything above 400 wpm is fast reading, while a reading time of 700 wpm falls under speed reading.

What is one instructional method for teaching fluency? ›

Two major instructional approaches to fluency are assisted reading and repeated reading. In assisted reading, a developing reader listens to a text read to them in a fluent manner while simultaneously reading the same themselves.

What are the two research-based instructional strategies for fluency? ›

There are two general approaches to improving fluency. The direct approach involves modeling. and practice with repeated reading under time pressure. The indirect approach involves encouraging children to read voluntarily in their free time.

Discover More ›

What does fluency instruction look like? ›

We should be teaching fluency skills in a progression.

In fluency, this looks like starting at the letter level (can students name their letters), moving to the sound level (can they produce a letter's sound), and then up through the word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, and passage levels.

What are Tier 2 interventions for reading fluency? ›

Tier 2 instruction is designed for students that are not making progress during core curriculum lessons. These students need supplemental research-based instruction in a small group setting. Students struggling with reading fluency and not meeting grade level standards would fit in this tier.

How do you teach fluency to a struggling reader? ›

Repeated oral reading is one of the most effective ways to improve fluency. However, it is critical that the first reading of a passage or text be completed with teacher guidance with corrective feedback provided. In that way, students will not practice their mistakes over and over.
