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 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.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing reading ability and related skills is often the primary focus of elementary administrators as academic achievement has been and still is the priority of all schools. Debates over various methods of reading instruction have always existed. Guided reading has been called the bridge between direct reading skills instruction and independent reading as teachers are allowed to tailor skill and strategy instruction to students' needs through small group instruction. This action research study explored evidence that demonstrated how the implementation of guided reading strategies in second grade classroom impacted student achievement in reading in a rural elementary school. Fluency, sign word recognition, instructional delivery, training methodology, and metacognitive processes involved in guided reading were also explored in this study.

Download or read book The Effects of an Intervention in Reading for Tier 2 Students written by Brooke Louise Krause and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 64 pages. 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 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aligning supplemental reading instruction with core classroom reading instruction on struggling second-grade students0́9 proficiency in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Alignment was defined as core classroom and supplemental instruction that are congruent in philosophy, goals, instructional materials, instructional methods, student activities, and reading strategies that follow the same scope and sequence. This study employed a two-group, pre-post true experimental design. Second-grade students (N = 153) scoring in the lowest quartile on the fall Dynamic Indicators of Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Oral Reading Fluency assessment were randomly assigned to either an aligned or nonaligned supplemental reading instructional condition received instruction over a 20-week period. Reading specialists in 11 schools provided the supplemental instruction. iv The DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) and the Woodcock Reading Mastery-Revised (WRMT-R III) assessments were used to assess student reading growth in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary. Each student received one score from the DIBELS ORF and six scores from the WRMT-R III. Seven separate nested analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were conducted to examine differences in group means at posttest while accounting for nesting of reading specialists within schools. Pretest measures for each of the dependent variables were used as covariates to adjust posttest scores at the end of the study. After controlling for pretest score differences and accounting for the variance associated with reading specialists nested within schools, statistically significant differences were found favoring the aligned supplemental condition for posttest scores on all measures. Effect sizes ranged from small to moderate, with largest effect sizes being found for vocabulary and comprehension. The results of the study suggest that at-risk second-grade students benefitted from supplemental instruction that is aligned to the classroom core reading program.
