Description

This is a print-n-go - turn-key fluency and comprehension program for high school students.

The 15-Minute Fluency and Comprehension is a comprehensive, simple, and research-based program that builds students’ reading fluency in just minutes a day. For students in grades 9-12, this peer-driven solution pairs same-skill-level students to read age-appropriate and record each other's progress with fluency and accuracy to meet today's career and college readiness challenges.

Lexile-based reading passages and comprehension worksheets to help build student fluency. Engaging passages at appropriate levels. ATOS levels also provided.

Fifty-seven passages with three days of standards-based work for each. Google slides, Easel and pdf.

Lexile Levels: 810L-1000L to 1210L-1400L

ATOS Levels: 7.51 to 13.56

Suggestions for Use: Partner students by reading level. Explain fluency and practice partner reading using one of the first passages. Run through process at least two times.

Each passage:

Day 1: Partner and do first timed read. Have students record their scores. Do Day 1 activity.

Day 2: Partner and do second timed read. Have students record their scores. Do Day 2 activity.

Day 3: Partner and do second timed read. Have students record their scores. Do Day 3 activity.

This is an evidence-based strategy for improving reading fluency. The student is asked to read the same passage three to five times, receiving feedback each time from the instructor or peer reviewer. Since this program is peer-to-peer, feedback comes from peers. By providing feedback on accuracy, rate and expression, students can incorporate those changes into each subsequent reading, eventually reaching a point of fluency with that particular passage. They can then move on to more difficult assignments.

Repeated readings of text can also contribute to better comprehension, one of the cornerstones of reading throughout life. All schools, from elementary to college, can easily provide students with repeated readings as well as paired passages of the same theme or topic.

For those teachers who want to mix-up full-class fluency lessons, one option is fluency-oriented reading instruction. This evidence-based practice begins with a teacher reading a particular passage aloud while students follow along in silent reading. Then, students read the passage aloud numerous times throughout the week, including echo, choral and partner reading. They also practice the passage for 15-30 minutes daily. At the end of a week, students engage in discussion, writing an essay or performing other activities that prove comprehension of the passage.
