Download or read book The Development of Fluency and Comprehension Literacy Skills of Second Grade Students by Providing Regular Use of the Fluency Development Lesson written by Gail E. Evanchan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between oral reading fluency and reading comprehension through the lens of developing readers in an actual classroom setting. In order to provide targeted fluency instruction, the study implemented the Fluency Development Lesson (FDL), a widely recognized and research-based instructional framework for fluency development, to analyze its impact on the reading comprehension of students in a second grade classroom. The study was conducted in a suburban school district located in a Midwestern state. Twenty-two students between seven and nine years old took part in the study by participating in the FDL daily from September through January. The participant sample employed was a purposeful, nonprobability sample. The researcher was the classroom teacher. The data were collected and analyzed using the 3-Minute Reading Assessment: Word Recognition, Fluency and Comprehension to generate the following scores: (a) word recognition accuracy; (b) automaticity in reading fluency; (c) multidimensional fluency skills including expression and volume, phrasing and intonation, smoothness, and pace; and (d) retelling comprehension. The organization of data for this study determined the statistical significance of change and the existence of a correlation between oral reading fluency and comprehension among the second grade students using the analysis of repeated measures and the Pearson's r statistical test. Findings from the data suggested that with regular use of the FDL, significant statistical improvements were seen in retelling comprehension, words read correctly per minute, expression and volume, phrasing and intonation, smoothness, and pace in reading. In this study, the FDL proved to be an effective way of improving students' reading performance in fluency and comprehension skills. In conclusion, using the FDL in the classroom has the potential to provide positive outcomes for student reading fluency and ultimately in overall reading achievement. As educators attempt to find ways to achieve proficiency in reading, they will hopefully take into account the implications of this study and any past and future studies that demonstrate the positive benefits of using the FDL with their students to improve fluency and comprehension skills.

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.

Download or read book Developing Oral Reading Fluency written by Douglas F. Osborn and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The researcher measured the effectiveness of two popular supplemental reading instruction strategies, word walls and independent silent reading, in 6 second-grade classes over 12 weeks. The study involved the comparison of eight oral reading fluency growth measures (Rate, Accuracy, Fluency, Comprehension, Oral Reading Quotient--overall oral reading ability, Sight Word Efficiency, Phonemic Decoding Efficiency, and Total Word Reading Efficiency). The researcher used the individually administered Gray Oral Reading Tests (fourth edition) and the Test of Word Reading Efficiency in a pretest-intervention-posttest experimental design to obtain these measures. Although pretest and posttest comparisons of the standard scores and percentile ranks revealed no statistically significant effects for either intervention group when compared to the Control group, actual gain score grade equivalency comparisons to the anticipated gains of 3 months were statistically significant for all three groups for almost every measure. The researcher concluded that although the daily use of Word Walls and the daily use of Independent Silent Reading both appear to be effective reading instruction strategies for second grade students, other reading instruction strategies (employed by the Control group) appear to be comparably effective. All three groups experienced a remarkable gain in overall oral reading ability according to the GORT-4 Oral Reading Quotient measure. This dramatic gain over the beginning three months of second grade suggests this period may be a crucial phase of reading fluency development.
Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Professional Development and Improvement on Second grade Oral Reading Fluency written by Martha S. Turnwald-Fether and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the past eight decades, the research of teaching and assessing early literacy skills has provided teachers with information that vacillates regarding what and how the skills were taught and assessed. However, what has stayed constant in research is that once students struggle with reading, by third grade they will continue to fall behind unless interventions are started in the younger grades (Fletcher, Shaywitz, Shankweiler, Liberman, Stueging, Francis, Fowler, & Shaywitz, 1994; Moats, 2004). Thus, second-grade becomes a pivotal year to make sure struggling readers are provided with interventions that address specific skills. In order to determine which students need which interventions, screening assessments are the first key to start the process of intervention. However, many teachers have not been trained in using screening assessments such as the Dynamic Indicators of Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) oral reading fluency (DORF) probe. Thus, effective professional development that includes initial, follow-up, and ongoing phases is the first step in providing teachers with the knowledge and tools to use screening assessments like DORF. The findings of this study indicate that a positive and negative significant relationship exists between second-grade teachers' initial DIBELS professional development and the percentage of their students showing yearly improvement from their pre- to post-DORF scores of 35 words per year. In addition, a positive significant relationship exists between second-grade teachers' confidence level and the percentage of their students' pre- to post-DORF score improvement of 35 words and 45 words. Moreover, teachers' confidence level predicts the percentage of students improving 45 words from their DORF pre- to- post-scores. However, on closer examination, the majority of struggling students appear to make little gains while as many teachers do not receive follow-up and ongoing professional development. These results indicate that further research is needed in the area of teachers receiving all phases of effective professional development and student achievement.
