Building and Assessing Reading Fluency:
Academy of READING with Oral Reading Fluency |
 |
The National Reading Panel and the National
Research Council have identified reading fluency as
crucial, and strongly recommend that teachers
regularly assess students' reading fluency.
This paper outlines how the Academy of READING
with Oral Reading Fluency meets both the
instructional and assessment recommendations,
providing research-based, systematic instruction
along with an Oral Fluency Benchmark Assessment
and progress monitoring to track fluency development.
