Oral Reading Fluency Now Available
for Academy of READING®

New add-on to Academy of READING

Fully integrated with the Academy of READING®, Oral Reading Fluency enables students to play an active role in the development of their oral reading fluency – an essential step in becoming an active, fluent reader.

Oral Reading Subskills

• Students work from letters, syllables and high-frequency words to phrases and sentences that increase in complexity as the student advances
• Students rehearse, record and self-evaluate their oral reading of the text

Oral Reading Comprehension

• Exercises designed to develop strategies for better comprehension, including reading vocabulary and the ability to identify the main idea and author’s purpose
• Exposes students to leveled passages of high-interest reading content and a range of pre-reading activities, multiple choice questions and vocabulary
• Students rehearse, record and self-evaluate their oral reading of the text and then answer a variety of multiple choice questions to confirm retention and comprehension of the text

Fluency Benchmarks

• Provides timed, cold readings to help teachers assess each student’s progress
• A "play list" is provided through an online portfolio so that student recordings can be reviewed and scored by the teacher at any time
• Fluency recordings can be scored using a Words Correct per Minute (WCPM) score and the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) 4-point scale
