Slide 21 of 42
What Do I Do for Students Who Do Not Reach Fluency Targets?
Determine whether the problem is accuracy or fluency.
Look for possible patterns:
More than 1 error every 10 words indicates a need to look at accuracy.
Few errors but low rate - work on fluency.
Rates less than 30-40 wpm typically indicate a need for word recognition instruction.
If students are not firm on word recognition skills, focusing on increasing speed will be counter productive.
(Simmons/Kame'enui 1998)
