Why is fluency important?
Development of efficientword recognition skills isassociated with improvedcomprehension.

Why is fluency important?
Fluent readers…focus their attention on makingconnections among the ideas ina text and between these ideasand their backgroundknowledge.
![Page 6: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is fluency important?
Fluent readers…are able to focus oncomprehension.

Why is fluency important?
Less fluent readers…must focus their attentionprimarily on decodingindividual words.
![Page 8: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why is fluency important?
Less fluent readers…have little attention left forcomprehending the text.

What is fluency in reading?
Fluency is the freedom fromword identification problemsthat might hindercomprehension.
Harris & Hodges (1995)The Literacy Dictionary
![Page 11: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Fluent readers have developedautomaticity in: word recognition grouping words into
meaningful phrases noting punctuation.
![Page 12: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Automaticity. When a taskthat formerly requiredattention for its performancecan be performed without [orwith little] attention, the taskis being done automatically.
Samuels (1994) p.823
![Page 13: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Automaticity and fluency arenot synonymous.
Readers must haveautomaticity in wordrecognition to be fluent.
![Page 14: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Fluent readers recognizewords, letter clusters and lettersquickly and easily(automatically).
![Page 15: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Fast (or automatic) wordrecognition is necessary, butnot sufficient to be a fluentreader.
![Page 16: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is fluency in reading?
Fluent reading is more than justspeed and word recognition.
Even when students recognizemany words automatically,their oral reading still may beexpressionless, not fluent.
![Page 17: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Instruction in fluency...
Readers can be taught to readwith expression and to increasetheir reading rate.
![Page 25: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Instruction in fluency...
Teaching students wordrecognition skills will helpthem read faster.
This is best done by having thestudents read connected text.
![Page 26: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
If fluency were just a wordrecognition phenomenon, thenhaving students reviewing andrehearsing word lists mightmake sense.

Instruction in fluency...
Begin fluency instruction earlyand continue through grades3-4 for most children.
Some children will needfluency instruction beyond 4thgrade.
![Page 31: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
The fluency work should berelatively brief --15 to 30 minutes per lesson.
![Page 32: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
Students who receiveinstruction in fluency shouldstill be engaged in otherreading activities during thelesson, includingcomprehension instruction.

Instruction in Fluency...
IMPORTANT - Provide text atthe appropriate level!
Students need to be readingtexts at their independent level- 95% to 100% accuracy.
![Page 37: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
IMPORTANT!
Students should practice orallyrereading text that isreasonably easy for them.
![Page 38: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
KEY CONCEPTS ARE: Reading, not memorizing Independent level text(95% to 100% accuracy)
Rereading text
![Page 39: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
IMPORTANT!
Teaching on the child's instructional leveltext (90% to 94% accuracy) can focus onword recognition or comprehension.
When the child rereads the text it may beat the child's independent level andteaching can focus on fluency.

IMPORTANT CAUTION!
Round-robin reading is not arecommended method forinstruction in fluency.
![Page 44: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Instruction in Fluency...
It is evident that with round-robin procedures studentsreceive little actual practice inreading because no child isallowed to read for very long.

Instruction in Fluency...
Student-adult Reading:
The adult reads an entirestory or passage to the student.
The student rereads the storyor passage with the adultproviding encouragement andassistance if needed.
![Page 49: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
Choral reading:
The entire group of studentsreads a text together. They eachmust be able to see the text.The text must be at everyone'sindependent level (95%-100%accuracy).

Instruction in Fluency...
Tape-assisted reading:
This is much like Student-adultreading. The student listens tothe fluent reading of a textwhile reading along silently.Then the student echoes thetaped fluent reading.
![Page 51: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Instruction in Fluency...
Readers' theatre:
Students rehearse and performa play, reading from scripts thathave been derived from booksthat are rich in dialogue.

Instruction in Fluency...
Direct instruction about punctuationand masking phrases:
A teacher should discuss whatappropriate phrases are, looking atthe purpose of different punctuationmarks…[and] use a card to isolatecertain phrases…
Briggs & Forbes (2001) p. 18
![Page 55: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Instruction in Fluency...
Important consideration!
Fluency varies with different typesand difficulty levels of text. A signof a [proficient] reader is when bothspeed and support are adjusted tosuit the demands of the text.
Briggs & Forbes (2002) p. 5
![Page 56: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Instruction in fluency...
It is also important to readaloud to all of the students.This demonstrates fluentreading and extends thestudents' knowledge of ideas,genres, and vocabulary.

SSR…
There were too few studieswhich would isolate a causalrelationship.
Many correlational studieslink better readers to moretime spent reading.

SSR…
When SSR is coupled withteacher conferences or peerdiscussion, then slightimprovement in reading wasevident for the SSR group.
Manning & Manning (1984)

Instruction in fluency...
It is logical to assume thatpractice in any activity willimprove fluency inperformance. Therefore, SSRshould still be practiced alongwith direct and guidedinstruction in fluency.

Fluency develops over time...
In the early stage of readinginstruction, the beginningreader may be accurate inword recognition but theprocess is likely to be slowand effortful.
![Page 64: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Fluency develops over time...
Once the reader can make aone-to-one match (recognizingword units and spaces betweenwords) the teacher can begin toteach the reader to read inphrases.

The Overriding Point Of This Presentation: Quality &
Quantity, NOT Difference!• Struggling readers need more, and
are more dependent on the best possible forms of, instruction that: – aligns with core reading instruction
– is intended to bring them up to average levels

Historical Perspective
• Late 1800s: Something other than not learning to read is wrong with the child (Klenk & Kiby, 2000)
• 1920s+: Search for cause--medical model (Klenk & Kibby, 2000)
![Page 88: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Historical Perspective
• 1960’s+: Distinction between special and compensatory education (McGill-Franzen, 1987)
• 1970s+: Focus on intensive intervention; tendency to “wait” (Klenk & Kibby, 2000)
![Page 89: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Historical Perspective
• 1980s+: Critiques of differential treatment (Allington, 1981)
• 1990s+: Downplay of special/compensatory distinction (McGill-Franzen, 1987)

Differential Treatment In Ability Groups
• Struggling readers:
–Read relatively harder text
–Did more round-robin oral reading
–Made more errors
![Page 92: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Differential Ability Group Treatment
–Were interrupted more frequently
–Got less wait time
–Got more phonics-level than meaning-level cues from teachers
![Page 93: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)

• Asking higher-level comprehension questions
• Having students write in response to reading National Research Council; Taylor et al.
![Page 105: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
What is Scaffolding?• Giving the least support possible but
the most support necessary to enable accomplishment of task
• Gradual withdrawl of support as the child gains control of what you’ve taught National Research Council, 1998
![Page 106: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
What Is the Goal of Scaffolding?
• Independent control by the child
• Generalization of the knowledge beyond the setting in which it was learned
![Page 107: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
How Do I Know When and How To Withdraw Support?
• Daily formative assessment through observation, anecdotal records, running records
• Look for small increments daily and gradual change over time National Research Council, 1998; Taylor et al.
![Page 108: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Gradual Release of Responsibility
• Direct explanation: What? When? Why?
• Teacher mental modeling (thinking aloud)
• Guided practice with feedback
![Page 109: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Gradual Release of Responsibility
• Independent practice with feedback
• Transfer to new contexts and knowledge domains Duffy & Roehler, 1989
![Page 110: Fluency](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54b44e074a7959f3358b4a5f/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
What is NOT Scaffolding?
• Moving directly from modeling to independent practice
• Doing the task for the child!
