Paired Repeated Reading
Students of similar reading ability paired
Same as timed but not timed:)
Timed Repeated Reading
Use a passage with no more than 150 words at a student's instructional level.
First read silently, then read out loud and teacher times it (usually for a minute)

Fluency Assessment
Most districts use CBM-Curriculum based measure to assess reading fluency.
Curriculum-based measurement, or CBM, is a method of monitoring student. educational progress through direct assessment of academic skills.
CBM can be used to measure basic skills in reading, mathematics, spelling, and written expression. It can also be used to monitor readiness skills.

Write down:
What count as errors?
What do not count as errors?

Fluency Development Lesson
Developed by Timothy Rasinski and Nancy Padak.
The teacher chooses a passage/poem and reads aloud fluently several times.
The passage’s meaning is discussed.
Individual copies are provided to the students.
The class choral reads the passage several times.
Children are paired and read to each other three times.
Volunteers then read to the class.
2-3 vocabulary words are chosen and added to each child’s personal word bank.
Students put one copy in folder and take one home.
The next day, students reread the previous passage and then start process again.
FDL is fast paced (15-20 minutes).

Lexile Framework
A system that uses a complex formula of word difficulty and sentence complexity to determine the reading level of texts.
The Lexile website (https://fab.lexile.com/) contains a database of thousands of books, and online tools for a teacher to use in order to calculate the Lexile level of an inputted text.
The Lexile formula yields a Lexile level score ranging from 200-1700.
The Lexile levels can be compared to students’ scores on standardized tests, or roughly equated with grade levels (see Figure 8.5).
