Example of a Fluency Lesson (cont.)

Slide contains a bar graph with the following information:

1st read -- 35
2nd read -- 40
3rd read -- 42
Final read -- 45

The bar graph shows the improvements in a student's repeated reading of the same passage. There are four bars, each representing a time that the student read the same passage. The bars indicate that the student read 35 words per minute the first time, 40 words per minute the second time, 41 words per minute the third time, and 45 words per minute the fourth time.
