Boosting Oral Reading Fluency: Next Steps for Success!
$430 per person
When students flag on the Oral Reading Fluency assessment (ORF), it often signals challenges with word recognition, decoding, or phrasing, which can hinder overall fluency. Specific high-leverage strategies can help improve accuracy and automaticity, enabling students to build fluency, boost confidence, and achieve greater reading success.
Benefits
Working on automaticity of word recognition helps students read more fluently by reducing the cognitive load needed for decoding words. This allows them to focus more on comprehension and the meaning of the text, rather than getting stuck on individual words. As a result, students become more confident readers and are able to engage more fully with complex texts.
