In this week's reading, Serravallo addresses reading fluency, in conjunction with print skills and comprehension. Two assessments are featured: Fluency Assessment and Running Record. In the book, Serravallo includes a running record sample (p. 63) with slash marks ( / ). These show where the student is pausing as she reads aloud, which indicates how a student is grouping phrases. On p. 57, you can see that the NAEP Oral Reading Fluency Scale demonstrates that the ultimate goal for readers is to use longer, meaningful phrasings when reading aloud. So analyzing the slash marks can give you useful information about how a reader is breaking up the text-- a key to fluency. PLEASE NOTE: The sample evidence for Alex DOES NOT include slash marks. Instead, Serravallo includes a note that Alex's NAEP score is a Level 2/3. Use this information to inform your analysis since there are no slash marks to examine.
For this module, you will analyze Alex's Running Record and Oral Retelling to inform your findings about fluency. You can also make observations about comprehension or print work when possible. I recommend using the book while you complete the analysis for helpful reminders on locating and interpreting the evidence. Download the student sample and Analysis Sheet to get started.
