Oral Reading Fluency
Many students struggle with oral fluency, especially those with
language-based reading deficiencies. Overcoming this challenge
requires explicit Oral Fluency training, which helps to increase
student performance by strengthening neural pathways and
oral-language skill connections.
New with the Academy of READING®, Oral Reading training enables students to play an active role in the development of
their oral reading fluency—an essential step in becoming an
active, fluent reader.

to achieve fluency and build strong reading skills
Oral Subskills

and sentences that increase in complexity as

better comprehension, including reading
vocabulary and the ability to identify the main
idea and author’s purpose

to leveled passages of high-interest reading
content and a range of pre-reading activities,
multiple choice questions and vocabulary
Fluency Benchmarks
- Provides timed, cold readings to help teachers assess each student’s progress
- "Play list" is provided through an online portfolio so that student recordings can be reviewd and scored by the teacher at any time
- Fluency recordings can be scored using a Words Correct perMinute (WCPM) score and the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) 4-point scale
