Reading Fluency Best Practices

By: Angela Marocco

Page 2: Wicked problempowerpoint

Getting Started!

Page 3: Wicked problempowerpoint

Determine each student’s Lexile range from NWEA reports

Follow these Steps on our Standardized Testing Link:

NWEA Reports

Teacher Reports

Lexile Reading Range is listed in the reading report

Page 4: Wicked problempowerpoint
Page 5: Wicked problempowerpoint

Correlate the Lexile range with WPCA Book Level Key

Page 6: Wicked problempowerpoint

Set AR goals using Goal Setting Chart

Set goal based off how much time they read at school and home

AR Website Directions:

Library search

Accelerated Reader

Class Record Books

Reading Practice Goals

Select Marking Period

Edit Student Goals

Enter goals under points column.

Page 7: Wicked problempowerpoint
Page 8: Wicked problempowerpoint

Put colored sticker (with goals written on them) on back of each

student’s library card

Page 9: Wicked problempowerpoint

Show students how to find AR books and point values on sticker

spine

Page 10: Wicked problempowerpoint

Create goal tracking poster with student names/percentages

Set Up Student Blogging at Kidblog.org

Kidblog.org will allow students to interactively blog about their responses to the literature they are reading. This will help with comprehension building. It will also allow for peer/teacher feedback.

Page 12: Wicked problempowerpoint

Set Up Student Blogging at Kidblog.org

Examples of Comprehension Prompts for blogging:1. Make a prediction of what you will read next

2. Make a connection using a prompt:- your own life - a happening at school - other people or

problems- similar events - similar times and places - other books or

stories-other writings by the same author - other writings on the same topic

3. Make a response using a prompt: - It was funny when - My favorite part was when - I didn’t like - I liked this chapter because - I like how the author

4. Make a THICK Question using a prompt:- Why do you think - What if ?- How would you feel if ? - What might ?

Page 13: Wicked problempowerpoint

Let the race begin!

You now have an understanding of how to step up the basics for the program. Now, let’s talk more about how to implement this program in YOUR classroom!

Page 14: Wicked problempowerpoint

During Workshop

-Find a 30-40 min time block dedicate to SSR reading

-Assign weekly AR helper to call students names to manage AR quizzes

-Allow students to read in reading areas so that students are spread apart

-Have students take turns using the computers for blogging on comprehension questions.

Page 15: Wicked problempowerpoint

Getting the Students to READ!-Have students read library books at home and complete weekly reading logs

-Pick leveled books for students to read in pairs (not aloud) during SSR

-Upload audio books for pairs to listen to during workshop time for a two week period

-Set up a at home audio book rotation schedule for lowest students

Page 16: Wicked problempowerpoint

Students only read library books at home

-Complete weekly reading logs with summaries-Logs due Monday or library day

-Encourage students to finish books, renew if not finished-Allows students to have correct reading material

available at home-Occasionally assign returning the reading log after the

first day to get students started on logs.-Hold students accountable for turning in logs, have them

read during recess if they are missing. -Email logs to parents every week

Page 17: Wicked problempowerpoint

Example of Weekly Reading Log

Page 18: Wicked problempowerpoint

Pick leveled books for students to read in pairs during SSR

-Series books work well (Increases motivation to continue to read)

-Rent up to 50 books from local library in addition to school library

www.cadl.org

www.lexile.com

www.arbookfinder.com

Use the school’s library catalog

Audio Books

Page 20: Wicked problempowerpoint

Audio Books Benefits-Audio books increases fluency, allows students to read up to

200 points above Lexile and when using series motivates students who struggle with reading to continue to read the

next book in the series.-Allows for strong start to AR quizzes

-Lets higher students to continue reading challenging series books after they’ve read the first book on cd

-Allows for author studies (For example a pair of students would read Roald Dahl books every time it’s their turn to

read audio Books)-Management Tip: Write down the track and end time at the

end of workshop on a student bookmark

Page 21: Wicked problempowerpoint

Upload Audio Books for pairs to listen to during workshop time

-Audio Books available from CADL. -“Rip” to Windows Media Player

(Then you wont need to CDs anymore and can always access all ripped cds)

-Need two copies of each book for students to read in pairs-Can have two students listen on smart board computer (with headphone splitters) Two additional students can listen at one thin client computer under your username

(Cannot access windows media player properly on two thin clients simultaneously)

Page 22: Wicked problempowerpoint

Differentiating Audio Books

-Use two week period for each audio book

-Can do up to 8 students every two weeks with headphone splitters (If you do an ELA workshop and SSR workshop). Each rotation pick 4 low students, 2 middle students and 2 high students. Stick with this rotation all year. Low students listen to books every two weeks.

-This allows your 8 lowest students to read one audio book a month

-Match partners that are very close in Lexile range -Send audio books home with low readers every other week (4 students one time and 4 the next week)

Program Accountability

How can we support our students along the way? How can we make sure they make it to

the finish line?

Page 25: Wicked problempowerpoint

Program Accountability

-Fill out poster chart and share each student’s progress before library time. (Keep a sticker on the percentage you should be at each week, 11% for 9 week quarter to total about 100%)

Page 26: Wicked problempowerpoint

Show students how to check their own progress on AR

-Student logs in

-View Goals and Points

-Point out percentage of goal met location on the screen

Page 27: Wicked problempowerpoint

Program Accountability

-Share AR progress with parents at conferences, via email or in person

-Intervene with struggling students during last few weeks

-Readjust goals if students meet them too quickly

-Reward students that meet their goals with AR celebration, etc.

Page 28: Wicked problempowerpoint

Measuring Student Success

How can we be sure are students are growing as readers as a result of this program?

How do we know if they made it to the finish line?

Page 29: Wicked problempowerpoint

Measuring Student SuccessTo track student reading progress teachers will

be able to look at four resources of data:

1. Accelerated reader quizzes results and individual student goal progress.

2. Student reading progress on standardized MAP testing.

3. Dibels Results

4. Track student progress of comprehension blogging.
