Reading fluency ✔✔oral reading with sufficient speed and accuracy to support comprehension of
text. It is later applied to silent reading and includes prosodic reading
automaticity in word recognition ✔✔being able to quickly identify a word. Having this skill frees
brain space that can be used for problem solving.
Accurate word recognition ✔✔being able to identify a word when it is read. this is important
because it leads to comprehension.
What does reading fluency depend on? ✔✔it depends on many smaller skills including speech
sounds, recognition of graphemes, and word chunking.
prosody ✔✔expression when reading. this is included in fluency to keep readers interested.
Common orf assessment ✔✔DIBBLES, one minute assessments
Four part processing model ✔✔Context- meaning of passage
Meaning processor- vocabulary
phonological processor- speech sound systems
orthographic- memory for letters
Ehri's model of word recognition ✔✔model of and phases of reading and spelling that show the
levels of proficiency in basic reading
what is the relationship between ORF and silent reading from 3rd to 8th grade? ✔✔it stays
consistent
Early reading instruction should focus on what two things? ✔✔word recognition and fluency
what contributes to automaticity? ✔✔rapid speech recognition
reduced need for attention
The stroop effect
Why is fluency important? ✔✔important because students can focus on the meaning of the words
rather than decoding them
Early Alphabetic phase ✔✔Automaticity with letters, sounds, and sound symbol correspondence
what are the building blocks of fluency ✔✔phonemes, phonemic awareness, word chunking, and
phoneme grapheme correspondance
Early to later alphabetic stage ✔✔automaticity with phonic decoding
later alphabetic phase ✔✔recognizing high frequency words
benchmark percentile for orf? ✔✔50%
how should you chart fluency? ✔✔allow students to put marks on their own charts
What is partner reading and what does it do? ✔✔promotes fluency and reaches benchmarks, when
two students or teacher and student read together
Prefix/suffix ✔✔must have fluency and know vocabulary to figure out prefixes and suffixes.
What is a way to identify for reading intervention? ✔✔Find ORF by using dibbles
Strategies to promote ORF? ✔✔reading aloud, short passages, 1 minute readings
Most common cause of fluency problems ✔✔Decoding issues
Curriculum based measurement? ✔✔test to measure progress. Results are reliable, and dependent
progress monitoring over time
Describe what is meant by reading fluency? ✔✔The best definition for reading fluency is to be
able to read with automaticity, which is recognizing words automatically, to promote
comprehension of words and the passage.
Phonemic awareness, phonics, and letter knowledge support what? ✔✔These foundational skills
support fluency which later supports comprehension. In order to be fluent a student must be able
to correctly know the sounds, and structure of words before they can automatically recognize them.
Fluency supports comprehension and comprehension supports fluency, explain why? ✔✔Fluency
supports comprehension because when a student is a fluent reader they can spend more time
focusing on the meaning of words instead of spending time decoding them. Comprehension
supports fluency because the more a student understands a passage or words the more fluent they
can be when reading.
How is fluency supported by the size of a students oral vocabulary? ✔✔The more words that a
student can read orally the more fluent they are because they have a large vocabulary of commonly
used words.
Explain why the amount of words recognized automatically is the most important factor in
explaining differences in reading fluency ✔✔because when a student can recognize words
automatically they can read more fluently than those students who struggle with recognizing
words. This is the major factor as to why some student can read more fluently because they are
able to recognize more words.
