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.

Download or read book Reading Fluency written by Timothy Rasinski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the impact of Read Naturally, a research-based intervention which utilizes repetitive reading, with 10 first and second grade students considered at risk or some risk in oral reading fluency (ORF) (Ihnot & Ihnot, 1996). The researcher utilized a Response to Intervention (Rtl) Model over a 4-week, 2-month, and 6-month period. Data were collected using Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS®) and pre-and post-scores from Read Naturally (Good & Kaminski, 2002; Ihnot & Ihnot, 1996). Historical data were also used to measure the words read per minute in Group A and Group B in the pre-test. ORF data were examined to ascertain responsiveness or non-responsiveness to the intervention for each student. Collected data were used to determine whether a student had a specific learning disability (SLD). Quantitative data suggested that implementing Read Naturally over a 2-month and 6-month period increased ORF skills. Student inconsistent attendance and time over the 4-week period resulted in inconclusive data. The researcher emphasized the importance of fidelity of instruction, on-going professional development, and time for collaboration amongst educators. The researcher argued that Rtl should be used in the process of determining if a student has a SLD. She focused on early intervention utilizing a preventative model instead of the discrepancy model, or psycho-educational assessments, which focus on qualification for special education.

Download or read book Effects of Variations of Text Previews on the Oral Reading of Second Grade Students written by Susan R. Massey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that there is a reciprocal relationship between comprehension and fluency during reading. The notion that oral reading fluency can facilitate reading comprehension is well established in the research literature on the development of reading comprehension. However, more recent models have questioned the unidirectionality of this relationship and have suggested that reading comprehension may increase fluency through reading rate. This hypothesis was examined via analyses of second grade students2 oral reading of connected texts. Four previewing conditions which isolated lexical effects, comprehension effects, and prosody effects on oral reading fluency were manipulated in an experiment and the effects on students2 passage reading times and prosody were evaluated. Students who were on-level readers were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions consisting of word preview (lexical factor), listening preview (prosody and comprehension factor), summary preview (comprehension factor) and no preview. Following the preview, students were asked to read passages aloud. Analyses of Covariance were performed to test the effects of lexical priming, comprehension priming and prosodic modeling on oral reading fluency as measured in correct words per minute (CWPM) and prosodic reading, while controlling for students overall achievement in reading as measured by the STAR-R score. The results showed significant differences in CWPM favouring the listening preview and summary preview over the no-preview condition for students at lower levels of fluency performance. The results are discussed in relation to theories of reading that highlight the role of comprehension and fluency in the integration of information during reading.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The researcher compared two methods to improve the oral reading fluency of developing readers. Students in second grade (n = 66) were randomly assigned to one of two fluency treatment conditions or to a control group. Students in the treatments repeatedly read aloud either an unmarked or prosodically-marked text with an adult listener in 20-minute sessions, five days per week for six weeks. For students in the prosodically-marked treatment condition, analysis of covariance revealed significant (p
