Fluency+Assessment

**Fluency Assessment Narrative**: I used the Repeated Reading Procedure and a reading rate chart to assess reading fluency using 6th Grade Passage entitled, "The Coolest Game". This was one of the reading strategies that I enjoyed completeing the most. It was easy to use, the data charts was easy to develop and it turned out to be very beneficial and worthwhile. We completed 7 readings over the course of 4 days. My student read 108 WPM and had 19 errors using our first reading. By the 7th reading, he made significant improvements was able to read 141 WPM and only made 6 errors. There were a couple of regressive points where he was so focused on reading fast that he made multiple errors (See the data below for the 5th reading). We used the recording software on my computer which automatically cut off after 60 seconds. He enjoyed the recordings because he could hear the errors that he made and he liked listening to his own voice. The recordings also helped me because I could replay his readings repeatedly to hear miscues and mistakes. Also, a major error that I made was I attempted to use the same passage paper to write notes down for multiple readings. I completed two passages one sheet and then realized that I made a horrible mistake when I wanted to look back at my errors.
