Back

Front

Components of "monitored oral reading with the teacher" that help improve a student's fluency.

Back

teacher modeling, student practice, teacher feedback

Front

True or False: An instructional strategy that will improve all components of fluency is repeated readings.

Back

TRUE

Front

Key indicators of reading fluency (except one): decoding, prosody, rate, accuracy

Back

decoding

Front

True or False: Frequent use of decodable text is important to build fluency in young readers who are acquiring basic phonics skills and high-frequency sight words.

Back

TRUE

Front

Fluency instruction should be introduced in all of the following ways except: at all stages of reading development, at all levels when there is simultaneous fluency instruction with phrases, sentences, and paragraphs, with all children through both monitored oral reading with their teachers and repeated reading activities, only when there is a student who is struggling with reading.

only when there is a student who is struggling with reading

Front

True or False: Independent silent reading is an important strategy for increasing fluency.

Back

FALSE - there is no guarantee that the reader is reading fluently while reading silently. The child might be repeatedly practicing inaccurate, slow, non-expressive reading.

Front

Specific strategies for building ACCURACY include: providing systematic, explicit instruction in structural analysis, syllabic analysis, and orthographic knowledge for older readers, providing systematic, explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, and sight words for younger readers, additional instruction in word identification skills for all readers. Which one is NOT a strategy?

How to make independent silent reading more effective in supporting fluency development?

Back
