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 Evaluating the Effects of a Teacher Implemented Reading Fluency Program for Low performing Second grade Readers written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading is one of the most important skills that a student can acquire. For elementary school teachers, helping students become proficient readers is one of the greatest impacts they can make in a studentâ€TMs academic career. It is essential that students receive reading strategies in the classroom that have strong research support. Instructional strategies that have been shown to improve reading fluency include: repeated reading, listening passage preview, and phrase drill. Through the use of such evidence-based, procedurally standardized intervention strategies, teachers may be able to make meaningful contributions to improve studentsâ€TM reading fluency. This study was conducted in an effort to bridge research to practice by offering an example of effectiveness (versus efficacy) research on a multi-component, evidence-based reading fluency intervention referred the Helping Early Literacy with Practice Strategies (HELPS) Program. The primary purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the HELPS Program with low-performing second grade students when implemented by four classroom teachers and teacher assistants in a minimally controlled setting. Results from the study suggested that 29 students who received HELPS significantly improved (from pre-test to post-test) on the measure of basic reading competence when compared to a control group of 30 students, with low-performing students who received HELPS making significantly larger reading gains than students who did not receive the program. In addition, the study demonstrated that such outcomes are achievable when teachers and teacher assistants implement the program. Given these findings, HELPS appears to be a useful and practical tool for educatorsâ€TM use in elementary school settings.

Download or read book The Impact of Having Second Grade Students Record a Text Read Out Loud in Relation to Their Fluency Skills written by Courtney Brown and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quasi-experimental comparison study took place over the course of six weeks in a general education second grade classroom in an urban Wisconsin school district. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact and results provided after a student was given direct instruction on fluency skills and provided time to record themselves on a 1:1 device and be reflective on their own fluency by listening back to their own reading. Students received reading instructions designed to work on specific fluency strategies. For all six weeks of the study, students were presented with tools and strategies to become for fluent readers. Passages were pulled based on students levels as determined by their Fall benchmark scores, and were fiction and nonfiction texts. Each week, data was collected using progress monitoring measures for words read per minute (WPM), comprehension, and self-reflection charts. Analysis of the final data points suggested that recording and listening back to a self-recorded reading can have positive effects on second grade students’ fluency skills and overall reading engagement and achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine effects of "Timed Repeated Readings" and "Paired Reading" strategies on reading fluency in a group of four second grade students. The research project was conducted daily for six weeks. The participants were all in a second grade, general education setting. They were also classified as being below grade level in reading and placed in the RTI Tier 2 reading group. During these eight weeks, the participants received daily reading fluency interventions which were "Read with Partner" or "Paired Reading" and "Timed Repeated Readings". The goal for these participants was to improve their fluency rate. This intervention required the participants to be actively involved in their learning. Twice a week students' reading aloud words per minute was recorded. After 8 weeks of the interventions, it was found that students reading below grade level were able to increase their reading fluency rates anywhere between 12% and 200%. It was also found that fluency instruction positively influenced reading comprehension within classroom instruction.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the effects of daily strategy based math instruction and guided practice on students' computational fluency of basic addition facts. This study took place in my multiage 1st/2nd grade classroom over a nine-week period during the 2008-2009 school year. Before treatment began, baseline data was collected in the form of a pretest. Throughout the study, students were taught five addition strategies. Each lesson throughout treatment included direct instruction of basic addition fact strategies and guided student practice. Students were also given opportunities to work with manipulative, participate in cooperative groups, play addition games, and make and review fact flashcards. Five weekly timed assessments were administered to check for understanding of each strategy. At the conclusion of the treatment period, a posttest, which was identical to the pretest, was administered. Findings suggest that the explicit instruction paired with guided practice increased student computational fluency.
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.
