Book excerpt: Reading fluency has been identified as a key component of proficient reading. Research has consistently demonstrated significant and substantial correlations between reading fluency and overall reading achievement. Despite the great potential for fluency to have a significant outcome on students’ reading achievement, it continues to be not well understood by teachers, school administrators and policy makers. The chapters in this volume examine reading fluency from a variety of perspectives. The initial chapter sketches the history of fluency as a literacy instruction component. Following chapters examine recent studies and approaches to reading fluency, followed by chapters that explore actual fluency instruction models and the impact of fluency instruction. Assessment of reading fluency is critical for monitoring progress and identifying students in need of intervention. Two articles on assessment, one focused on word recognition and the other on prosody, expand our understanding of fluency measurement. Finally, a study from Turkey explores the relationship of various reading competencies, including fluency, in an integrated model of reading. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into reading fluency and fluency instruction and move toward making fluency instruction an even more integral part of all literacy instruction.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This researcher investigated the effects of repeated reading, performance feedback, and systematic error correction on the reading fluency of three secondary English language learners (ELLs) with a specific learning disability (SLD) in reading. A multiple baseline reversal design across subjects was used to explore the effects of repeated reading on two dependent variables: reading fluency (words read correctly per minute; wpm) and number of errors per minute (epm). Data were collected and analyzed during baseline, intervention, and maintenance probes. Throughout the baseline phase participants read a passage aloud and during intervention phases, participants read a passage aloud and received error correction feedback. During baseline, reading was followed by fluency assessments. During intervention, reading was followed by three oral repeated readings of the passage. Maintenance sessions occurred 1, 2, and 3 weeks after the intervention ended. The researcher of this study concluded that repeated reading had a positive effect on the reading abilities of ELLs with a SLD in reading. Participants read more wpm and made fewer epm. Additionally, maintenance scores were slightly varied when compared to the last day of intervention; however, maintenance scores were higher than baseline means. The researcher of this study demonstrated that repeated reading improved the reading abilities of ELLs with a SLD in reading. On maintenance probes 1, 2, and 3 weeks following intervention mean reading fluency and errors per minute remained above baseline levels. Future researchers should investigate the use of repeated reading in ELLs with a SLD in reading at various stages of reading acquisition. Further, future researchers may examine how repeated reading can be integrated into classroom instruction and assessments.

Download or read book Examining the Effects of Repeated Reading Fluency Interventions on Student Progress Towards Grade level Goals written by DeeAnn Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of two different fluency-based reading interventions as determined by fluency progress monitoring rates of participants and teacher-perceived usefulness toward the progression towards the participants' grade-level goals as measured on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAPs) standardized test. This study was precipitated by the recent adoption of a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach in the school setting. This approach is designed to increase student achievement of students who are "below," "at," or "beyond" grade level expectations. This study specifically looked at students who are categorized as "below" grade level in reading achievement. The Helping Early Literacy with Practice Strategies (HELPS) intervention was utilized with 6th and 7th grade students during the first research period (Study 1) and "The Six-Minute Solution" was used with a group of 5th and 6th grade students during the second research period (Study 2). Results indicated the interventions did have an overall positive effect on the fluency rates and the standardized tests scores achieved by the students in this study.

Download or read book The Impact of Repeated Reading on Reading Fluency and Comprehension with Second Grade Students written by Jennifer K. Goedken and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The non-fluent readers in my second grad classroom had low fluency and comprehension scores, but were not eligible for additional reading assistance through Title 1 or special educational instruction. I implemented the Read Naturally program, a repeated reading program, with these students over a nine week period during the first quarter of the 2008-2009 school year. The Standardized Test for the Assessment of Reading, the Basic Reading Inventory, and fluency probes, which are measures used by the Alburnett Community School District, were given as pretests and posttests for this pre-experimental approach to research, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design. Teacher recorded bi-weekly comprehension and fluency assessments, as well as a journal were utilized to monitor the progress of the subjects during the treatment period. Students worked with Read Naturally for 30 minutes, four times per week. Read Naturally is a fluency based program which utilizes repeated reading strategies to improve and develop the skills necessary to become fluent oral readers through the utilization of books, audiotapes, and computer software to develop speed, accuracy, and proper expression in oral reading practices. Results showed significant gains in the areas of fluency and comprehension of students involved in the study. Te results may be due to the implementation of the Read Naturally program.
Download or read book The Effects of Repeated Reading on the Fluency of Intermediate level English as a second language Learners written by Krista Carlene Rich and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most would agree that reading fluency is a concern of every L2 teacher. Repeated reading (RR) positively affects fluency development, supported by much research with L1 children. However, relatively little focus has been given to L2 RR. Most research on RR in L2 settings has focused on audio-assisted RR, used insufficient data collection methods prone to human error, and taken place in an EFL setting. In our experiment, we used eye-tracking as a direct mode of measurement of the effects that RR has on early and late reading measures. In this study, 30 intermediate-level English language learners studying in an intensive English program in the United States participated. Participants silently read three carefully leveled narrative texts, three times each. As they read each passage, an eye-tracking machine gathered data on their eye movements. With immediate repeated exposure to the texts, students improved their reading fluency in both early and late measures of reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in student fluency achievement between repeated reading and traditional reading methods. The data that was collected was comprised of a class of sixteen second grade students from a very small, rural town. The class was divided into two equal groups: traditional and repeated reading. The traditional group received fluency practice in a traditional manner while the repeated reading group only focused on repeated reading. Each student was given a one-minute fluency test at the end of each week for a five week period. The findings were analyzed through Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP). The results indicated that there was a slight difference as demonstrated by the traditional mean of 80.15 compared to the repeated reading mean of 88.48, but not a significant statistical difference between the traditional and repeated reading method. Further study in the effectiveness of repeated reading on fluency is warranted. The school may want to consider extending this research for a second year and for a longer period of time.
